The Federation of Sheny is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 7 million Shenyians 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 7.8%.

The strong Shenyian economy, worth 382 billion roopeeses a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 54,638 roopeeses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sheny's national animal is the capybaras, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Sheny is ranked 290,703^rd in the world and 112^th in Aeternas for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 7.77 Effective Tax Rate.
