The Republic of The Shadows Founder is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning hawk population. The hard-working, cynical population of 4.901 billion Shadows Founderians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 16.5%.

The Shadows Founderian economy, worth 232 trillion rubledollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 47,420 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. The Shadows Founder's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

The Shadows Founder is ranked 113,639^th in the world and 1^st in Shadow states for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,920.77 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
