The Ricky Spanish Easter Egg of Shibutani is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Daniel with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 13.55 billion Shibutanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of MAYA. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Shibutanian economy, worth a remarkable 5,733 trillion Bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 423,161 Bitcoins, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, frustrated teenage boys are told that if they like it then they should have put a ring on it, and a generation of children conceived in hell and born in strife is growing up inside government-run care villages. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Shibutani's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of the Cosmic Skull.

Shibutani is ranked 1,242^nd in the world and 58^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 936.77 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
