The Holy Empire of SHC is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning Kitsune population. The hard-working population of 1.214 billion SHCians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 17.5%.

The SHCian economy, worth 54.8 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 45,136 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SHC's national animal is the Kitsune, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

SHC is ranked 225,844^th in the world and 971^st in Alliance of Storage Power for Largest Black Market, with 310 billion Standard Monetary Units.
