The Independent Duchy of Shefinland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Duke Charles I with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.123 billion Shefinlanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shefinville. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Shefinlandian economy, worth 92.2 trillion Kelions a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,087 Kelions, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Grannies get pulled over for knitting pullovers while driving, busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, and a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shefinland's national animal is the Shefinlandian Appaloosa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Sponsored Capitalism.
Shefinland is ranked 59,015th in the world and 630th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 127.52 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
