The Socialist Chickenocracy of Sheepstate is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 7.012 billion Sheepstateans 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sheepstatean economy, worth a remarkable 1,011 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 144,281 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sheepstateans ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Leader to meetings with foreign heads of state, contestants on Sheepstate's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, and scientists have great chemistry with their subjects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sheepstate's national animal is the Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sheepstate is ranked 272,414th in the world and 63rd in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 23,662.1 Standard Monetary Units.
