The Holy Christian Empire of Shing Sha is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Alexander Drovisques II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, zero percent divorce rate, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.762 billion Shing Shangs are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Völker Überreich. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shing Shan economy, worth a remarkable 1,717 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 298,039 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Warfare increasingly resembles a video game, hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, and the military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shing Sha's national animal is the Russian, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Shing Sha is ranked 11,565^th in the world and 2^nd in Empire of the less ancients for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 378.67 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
