The Community of Sheikyerbooty is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic, devout population of 529 million Sheikyerbootyians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 54.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Sheikyerbootyian economy, worth 9.05 trillion Incense Cones 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Trout Farming, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. 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 17,112 Incense Cones, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sheikyerbooty's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sheikyerbooty is ranked 194,073^rd in the world and 1^st in Dubai for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 57.88 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
