The Shrekacratic Ogres Republic of VlaRiSsiA is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Eternal Omnipotent Leader Shrek with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.928 billion Ogres are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Swampskow. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Shrekist economy, worth a remarkable 6,005 trillion O N I O NS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 549,590 O N I O NS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hit TV show 'The eXecution Factor' is a critical success, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, and most pop videos prominently feature the Shrekist flag. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. VlaRiSsiA's national animal is the Donkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Shrekism.

VlaRiSsiA is ranked 310,194th in the world and 303rd in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 27.67 Workforce Participation Rate.
