The Queen's State of Shilu is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working population of 22.2 billion Shiluans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Spirituality, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.8%.

The thriving Shiluan economy, worth 674 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 30,399 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 92,864 per year while the poor average 7,713, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Shilu's national animal is the deer.

Shilu is ranked 263,128^th in the world and 6^th in Bridgetown for Lowest Crime Rates, with 43.52 law-abiding acts per hour.
