The Grey Havens of Shaizan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Eldar Council with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, hatred of cheese, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 16.827 billion Elves are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valinor. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Shaizanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,753 trillion Castars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 282,515 Castars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems, populations of two-headed Great Eagles have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, and park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shaizan's national animal is the Great Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Iluvatar.

Shaizan is ranked 191,629th in the world and 62nd in Hive for Most Stationary, with 59.09223995872 days.
