The Federation of Great Sheyeru is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 421 million Sheyeru 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Sheyeru economy, worth 29.8 trillion Shyuffies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 70,790 Shyuffies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, hit and run driving is no longer a crime - it's the national sport, university applicants are judged by how much they laugh at professors' tired jokes, and the government is suspected of mass disappearing dissidents both at home and abroad. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Sheyeru's national animal is the Froggy Frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Great Sheyeru is ranked 80,456th in the world and 14th in F7 Cliches and Community for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,226.18 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
