The Isle of Shaddai is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Lord Zadok Sparr with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.832 billion Shaddaians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government prioritizes Spirituality, with Welfare, Education, and Defense also on the agenda, while Environment and Industry aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elyon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.

The strong Shaddaian economy, worth 174 trillion shekels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 61,668 shekels, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

A ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, a popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street", there is something rotten in the state of Shaddai, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Shaddai's national animal is the lion and its national religion is Tehom-Elism.

Shaddai is ranked 110,157^th in the world and 19^th in Gay Equality for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,298.19 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
