The Republic of Sheura is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, prohibition of alcohol, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 443 million Sheurans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chita. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.3%.

The thriving Sheuran economy, worth 33.1 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,759 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, torture is illegal, a cat may look at a king and a dude can look at an ass, and 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sheura's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sheura is ranked 119,308^th in the world and 4,706^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 768.92 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
