The Matriarchy of Shiruku is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Dangeom Moon with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and digital currency. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.219 billion Shiruks enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ketsueki. The average income tax rate is 87.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Shiruk economy, worth 747 trillion Reidis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,152 Reidis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, and umbrellas are back in fashion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shiruku's national animal is the Snow Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Shiruku is ranked 9,779^th in the world and 553^rd in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 101.5 law-abiding acts per hour.
