The Democratic Federation of Schabinur is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Mark Brechnusky with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.697 billion Schabinurians 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, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pokmahokin. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Schabinurich economy, worth 193 trillion Schas a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,138 Schas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, the official Schabinurich Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, and the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Schabinur's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Schabinur is ranked 189,615^th in the world and 179^th in Lands End for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -4.27 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
