The Shrekacratic Ogres Republic of VlaRiSsiA is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Eternal Omnipotent Leader Shrek with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.538 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, although Law & Order and Spirituality are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. 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 7,985 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, fairly diversified 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 549,296 O N I O NS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Birdsong in the mountains has to be loud enough to drown out nearby jackhammers, those who sing the national anthem off-key have the key thrown away, school uniforms are compulsory, and the state has declared war on the environment and environmentalists by association. 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 324,529th in the world and 17,592nd in Balder for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -16.74 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
