The Democratic Republic of Shefino

“Truth and love must prevail over lies and hatred.”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Democratic Republic of Shefino is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Prezident Graham with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 9.726 billion Shefinoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shef. The average income tax rate is 53.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Shefinoan economy, worth a remarkable 2,031 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 208,872 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, Prezident Graham's new political program is often mockingly called 'Capitalism with a Bigtopian face', abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, and the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies. Crime is totally unknown. Shefino's national animal is the White sabertooth tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Shefino is ranked 1,456^th in the world and 39^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 894.13 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
