The Democratic Republic of Shefino is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prezident Graham with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 9.652 billion Shefinoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shef. The average income tax rate is 52.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shefinoan economy, worth a remarkable 2,018 trillion Crowns a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 209,147 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, and the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy. Crime is totally unknown. Shefino's national animal is the White sabertooth tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Shefino is ranked 288,081st in the world and 5,365th in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -21.02 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
