The Holy Empire of Sons of Shub-Niggurath is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.227 billion Sons of Shub-Niggurathians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Sons of Shub-Niggurathian economy, worth a remarkable 5,524 trillion Tsathogguas a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 417,645 Tsathogguas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,354,142 per year while the poor average 97,196, a ratio of 13.9 to 1.

Academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs, government-run brothels can be found on every street corner, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, and closed universities are currently being converted into McRonald's restaurants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Sons of Shub-Niggurath's national animal is the Cthulhu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sons of Shub-Niggurath is ranked 141,519^th in the world and 1,344^th in the Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,306.07 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
