The Provincial Syndicates of Shrekistani is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Eternal Marshall Restoan Venre with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.947 billion Shrekists are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Faristadt Dobb. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Shrekist economy, worth 552 trillion Shrekist Onions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 139,949 Shrekist Onions, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Songs of praise to Eternal Marshall Restoan Venre are filled with coded messages from the resistance, the police turn a blind eye to desecration if it's done in the name of religion or protest, conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies, and citizens are bleary-eyed after staying up all night with a good book (Shrekistani has found 4 easter eggs). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shrekistani's national animal is the Shrek, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of Shrek.

Shrekistani is ranked 5,045^th in the world and 17^th in Thaecia for Safest, scoring 130.93 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
