The People's Republic of Shidholeistan is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Lin Piao with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.678 billion Shidholeistanis are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Juikin. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Shidholeistani economy, worth 144 trillion 工人币s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 86,101 工人币s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shidholeistan is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, the nation tends not to learn from its history, the populace lives in fear of painful execution for minor offences, and the government-sponsored autobiography 'A Lin Piao For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of Lin Piao's supporters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shidholeistan's national animal is the Human, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Trotskyist Legalism.

Shidholeistan is ranked 304,965^th in the world and 887^th in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 42.21 on the Human Development Index.
