The Holy Republic of Shefino is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prezident Graham with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.491 billion Shefinoans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized 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 56.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shefinoan economy, worth 182 trillion Crowns a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,196 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Environmental legislation occurs cyclically, the government denies that it has an agency overseeing plausible deniability of black-ops agencies, mathematicians are hated by children across the country, and the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shefino's national animal is the Ghost Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Shefino is ranked 40,158^th in the world and 1,529^th in the South Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 76.38 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
