The Dominion of Shaitann is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Domina Lucy Ferr with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 19.871 billion Shaitanni are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dis. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shaitanni economy, worth a remarkable 4,577 trillion paper boats a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 230,372 paper boats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption, nine-year-olds' chat logs are scoured for evidence of radicalization, Shaitann's heavy congestion charges are the bane of motorists' lives, and an alabaster statue of an ancient cat-deity takes pride of place in the centre of Dis. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shaitann's national animal is the narcoleptic quail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shaitannism.

Shaitann is ranked 280,000^th in the world and 10,310^th in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 0.37 average smiles per day.
