The Free Dominions of Shumster is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by 哈哈哈 with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 10.865 billion Shumsterians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Charter Aeonisle. The average income tax rate is 16.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shumsterian economy, worth a remarkable 1,794 trillion Shumeroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,128 Shumeroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Sales of trenchcoats are on the rise, an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, and rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shumster's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Shumster is ranked 143,837th in the world and 2,718th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 186.26242940308 days.
