The United Socialist States of Sheradia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Thomas Richmond with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 8.402 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Social Welfare, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Free Haven. The average income tax rate is 98%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, Sheradia is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, and the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sheradia's national animal is the teddy bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the florin.

Sheradia is ranked 2,410th in the Pacific and 67,021st in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 17 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
