The Shrekacratic Ogres Republic of VlaRiSsiA is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Eternal Omnipotent Leader Shrek with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ritual sacrifices, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.499 billion Ogres 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Swampskow. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Shrekist economy, worth a remarkable 3,958 trillion O N I O NS 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. 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 a breathtaking 527,861 O N I O NS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A government program is underway to revitalize VlaRiSsiA's beaches, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, and the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. VlaRiSsiA's national animal is the Donkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Shrekism.

VlaRiSsiA is ranked 219,069^th in the world and 336^th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -2.01 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
