The Sentakean Clan of Sheijin is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Shansuji Shoshujin with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 8.918 billion Sheijins are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sujitorai. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Sheijinian economy, worth 541 trillion Yujis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,649 Yujis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, genetic researchers have been expelled, chickens frolic freely on swings and roundabouts in Sujitorai's playgrounds, and mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sheijin's national animal is the Sheinu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sheii.

Sheijin is ranked 49,846^th in the world and 4^th in The Cherlands for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.81 percentage of bribes refused.
