The Socialist Republic of Shreminov is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Afanasiy Ulyanov - De Jure with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, complete lack of prisons, and smutty television. The compassionate, cheerful population of 10.195 billion Shreminovians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rovskoy. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Shreminovian economy, worth a remarkable 2,273 trillion Shreminovian Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 223,002 Shreminovian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million Shreminovian Marks of property damage, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, Afanasiy Ulyanov - De Jure is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, and skateparks can be found in every city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shreminov's national animal is the ram, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Shreminov is ranked 265,869^th in the world and 397^th in Declansburg for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -11.58 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
