The Dominion of Sheik is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.148 billion Sheikians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized, moralistic, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 32.5%.

The strong Sheikian economy, worth 57.7 trillion rupees a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,229 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Government agents stalk the aisles of grocery stores for out-of-stock medications, banana distribution among collective farm workers is an important topic in public discourse, justice is blinding, and the black market offers sweet deals. Crime is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Sheik's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sheik is ranked 82,991^st in the world and 18^th in Square Enix for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 115.74 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
