The People's Republic of Shildonia
"Peace Through Tyranny"

UN Category: Compulsory Consumerist State
Civil Rights: Average
Economy: Frightening
Political Freedoms: Rare

Location: Shildon

The People's Republic of Shildonia is a enormous, safe nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 770 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Book Publishing.

There are no minimum wage laws, the government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shildonia's national animal is the Neep Child, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Shildonian Pound.
