The Federal Republic of Shang Populi is a very large, safe nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion.

State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,483 丝币s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
