The Republic of Shrektanina is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its suspicion of poets and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 112 million Shrektaninans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, although Education, Defense, and Law & Order are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 29.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Shrektaninan economy, worth 3.88 trillion Buttplugs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,616 Buttplugs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Corporate executives continue to enjoy generous tax benefits while the public is taxed to the hilt, the nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free, students who do not recite the national anthem each morning have to drop and give their teacher 50, and clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shrektanina's national animal is the Ogre, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Shrektanina is ranked 19,313^th in the world and 20^th in Wintercrest for Safest, scoring 114.18 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
