The Rogue Nation of Shinuva is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Uncle with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 27.566 billion Shinuvans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Morvai. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shinuvan economy, worth a remarkable 4,159 trillion Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Information Technology industry. Average income is an impressive 150,878 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done", the working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes, the national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, and cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shinuva's national animal is the Elf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Shinuva is ranked 1,094th in the world and 18th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 4,616.70537864 days.
