The Federal Republic of Sheydan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Eleanor Sanchez with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.265 billion Sheydanians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zover. The average income tax rate is 37.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sheydanian economy, worth 444 trillion Rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,154 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Retirement homes are filled with foreign war criminals, only clowns with PhDs from clown college can advise Eleanor Sanchez on Sheydan's coulrophobia epidemic, the government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, and the army lures cannon fodder with promises of a college education. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sheydan's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sheydan is ranked 203,867^th in the world and 811^th in Europeia for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.2 kickbacks per hour.
