The Shrekracy of Shrek Land is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Shrek with an iron fist, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, parental licensing program, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.191 billion Shrek Landians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Social Policy receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Far Far Away. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Shrek Landian economy, worth a remarkable 2,937 trillion Onions 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining. 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 an amazing 288,228 Onions, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 933,024 per year while the poor average 67,237, a ratio of 13.9 to 1.
Citizens select which government department gets their income tax Onions each year, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, the nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically, and graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shrek Land's national animal is the Donkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Shrekism.
Shrek Land is ranked 2,131st in the world and 94th in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 339.65 kickbacks per hour.
