The Ricky Spanish Easter Egg of Shibutani is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Daniel with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.759 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, 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 6,398 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 notable. Average income is an amazing 433,539 Bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,534,590 per year while the poor average 88,433, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Most people attending churches are maintenance workers, bins outnumber trees in city parks, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, and annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt. 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 4,246^th in the world and 114^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 10,366.34 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
