The Free Confederation of Schabinur is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Mavier Jilei with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.185 billion Schabinurians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pokmahokin. The average income tax rate is 85.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Schabinurich economy, worth 822 trillion Cryptoes a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,511 Cryptoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Max Barry is this year's Miss Schabinur, towns are often run by puppets, innocent defendants often plead guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury, and what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Schabinur's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is None.

Schabinur is ranked 23,414^th in the world and 28^th in Lands End for Largest Governments, scoring 29.17 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
