The Empire of Shmickangria is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.148 billion Shmickangrians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HATE. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.4%.

The all-consuming Shmickangrian economy, worth 131 trillion Kromners a year, is fairly diversified and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 114,203 Kromners, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 454,776 per year while the poor average 19,318, a ratio of 23.5 to 1.

The navy's new flotilla is gonna be a thrilla, half of Shmickangria's doctors can't speak the language, people spend a lot on hair and nails, and enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Shmickangria's national animal is the ANGER, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
