The Democratic Republic of Shefino is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prezident Graham with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, free-roaming dinosaurs, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cheerful population of 10.962 billion Shefinoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

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 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shefinoan economy, worth a remarkable 2,406 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 219,490 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Light entertainment isn't dead, engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet, and the government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shefino's national animal is the White sabertooth tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Shefino is ranked 1,317th in the world and 30th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 154.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
