The Republic of ScheiBe is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.648 billion ScheiBeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The strong ScheiBean economy, worth 184 trillion Democcs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 69,729 Democcs, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Confused drunks wake up to irate drill sergeants whipping them into shape, political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster, heartwarming sentiments are even hotter now, and the ScheiBe Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. ScheiBe's national animal is the Rare fish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

ScheiBe is ranked 231,066^th in the world and 159^th in Fallen Star for Lowest Crime Rates, with 55.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
