The United Tribes of Sheariliik is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Salabiah von Zhark und Florecer with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, rampant corporate plagiarism, and public floggings. The hard-working, humorless population of 42.159 billion Shearilecians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Environment, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Espyn. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Shearilecian economy, worth a remarkable 5,895 trillion Shearilecian Rupiahs a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 139,832 Shearilecian Rupiahs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Female brains are believed to heat up dangerously when 'overclocked', Eckie-Ecola has declared that their soda poop is The Real Thing, there is an abondance of ackawi and zartschmelzend in every Shearilecian grocery store, and the nation doesn't need to go to war in order to acquire new territory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sheariliik's national animal is the Horn Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Sheariliik is ranked 59,626^th in the world and 103^rd in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
