The Federation of Three Shipyards is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed population of 865 million docksiders enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great Dockside Barrage. The average income tax rate is 18.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Three Shipyardsian economy, worth 44.2 trillion bills of lading a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 51,138 bills of lading, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government is reining in public spending, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and Three Shipyards has designated Great Dockside Barrage as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Three Shipyards's national animal is the Starhawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Three Shipyards is ranked 265,791^st in the world and 6^th in Shadowport for Most Developed, scoring 51.3 on the Human Development Index.
