The Free Land of Shreekaristan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kim Jong An with an even hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 1.335 billion Shreks 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bahudasalem. The average income tax rate is 43.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Shrek economy, worth 121 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,004 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

A rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, foreign converts are illuminated by both missionaries and helicopter searchlights, third world countries are rich in "I Love Bahudasalem" t-shirts, and counselors diagnose their clients with motherboard complexes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shreekaristan's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Farquadism.

Shreekaristan is ranked 40,216^th in the world and 13^th in Authotaria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.6 law-abiding acts per hour.
