The Empire of Shreychelles is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Gajapati Maharaja III with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 780 million Shreynesians 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Luminnagaram. The average income tax rate is 54.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient a Shreynesian economy, worth 106 trillion Tankas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 136,355 Tankas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", the Hanging Gardens account for half of North Luminnagaram's water use, government programs are less "written" and more "plagiarised", and the government is constantly producing new maps to accommodate the continual renaming of cities. Crime is totally unknown. Shreychelles's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Shreychelles is ranked 21,853^rd in the world and 5^th in Discornesia for Smartest Citizens, with 59.26 quips per hour.
