The Most Serene Republic of Shinenshima is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Iris White-Hinoiri with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.225 billion Shinenshima-jin are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tenrui. The average income tax rate is 65.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Shinenshiman economy, worth 113 trillion Kobans a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,907 Kobans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A ban on robots in disguise has transformed the entertainment industry, hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, newspapers are running a front-page picture of Prime Minister Iris White-Hinoiri holding a crowbar and standing over a bloodied stockbroker, and political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shinenshima's national animal is the Blakiston's Fish Owl, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Shinenshima is ranked 64,787th in the world and 1,897th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
