The Zetronis re-incarnate of Shengraz is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Prime minister Carter Alastoir with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, irreverence towards religion, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-working population of 1.274 billion Shengrazi are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Los valis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.9%.

The all-consuming Shengrazic economy, worth 107 trillion Ternions a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is 84,684 Ternions, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 360,564 per year while the poor average 12,797, a ratio of 28.2 to 1.

The regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, office thieves tell their employers kleptomania is a pregnancy symptom, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, and traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Shengraz's national animal is the Blue Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Dragonism.

Shengraz is ranked 26,753rd in the world and 77th in Carcassonne for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 6,465.19 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
