During the time when Shinalun displaced his father, Sellun, from the imperial throne, the council and senate of the empire continued their aggressive expansion northward and soon became embroiled in a war with Zimivia. Shinalun preferred to remain uninvolved for some time, as their efforts had greatly limited his power, so he devoted most of his time to his passions, for which he earned the nicknames "erotic monarch" and "persimmon king."
He introduced a large number of women's clothing items into widespread use, some of which he invented and designed himself, while others he simply popularized. This list includes, but is not limited to: high-heeled shoes, mesh stockings and tights, modern garter belts, knee-high and over-the-knee socks, bikinis, thongs, plaid and short, tight skirts, maid outfits, and much more. He also invented tools and devices for specific purposes, such as a pole for dancing and a wooden horse.
At the end of each year, he held the "Golden Persimmon" festival (presumably because he loved persimmons very much), during which the empire's subjects could compete in various events, such as song, dance, and beauty contests.
Shinalun began his day by engaging in lovemaking with his wife on one of the balconies of the imperial palace, in full view of anyone who wished to watch – this was his way of greeting the people after waking up.
Despite his eccentricity, he was loved by the people for his down-to-earth nature and involvement in the lives of ordinary people, and therefore, when the northern war dragged on, the senate and council of the empire lost much of their influence, and Shinalun was able to make changes to the government mechanisms. As a result, the emperor's vote became equal in importance to the votes of the senate and the supreme council, accounting for 33% of the votes needed to pass legislation.
In addition, during Shinalun's reign, the Skraem tribes were also conquered, in order to put an end to their raids once and for all.
