The Sleepy Country of Shrikisthan is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Percesal with a fair hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.982 billion Shrikisthis love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bikasheher. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shrikisthi economy, worth 657 trillion Bastilas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 165,094 Bastilas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Shrikisthan, public transit is widely considered to be perpetrating the patriarchy, and groups of government workers are declared protected tribes if they venture too deep into the Capitol. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Shrikisthan's national animal is the Suvarnam Golden Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetists.

Shrikisthan is ranked 8,590^th in the world and 267^th in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 133,426.13 Standard Monetary Units.
