The Federation of Shutoken is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 9.409 billion Shutokenians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The strong Shutokenian economy, worth 435 trillion Yen a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 46,195 Yen, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 297,731 per year while the poor average 2,895, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Shutoken's national animal is the Crane, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Shutoken is ranked 70,203^rd in the world and 1^st in Nihon koku for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring zero on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
