The Pan-Shamatist Federatsiya of Sikirsk is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Marshal-President Volodymyr Uladzimir with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.277 billion Sikirskians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novoyugorsk. The average income tax rate is 46.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Sikirskian economy, worth 447 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 136,451 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, and sex education has become an intricate maze of stick figures and complex metaphors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sikirsk's national animal is the Killkakora Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Protestant Scholasticism.

Sikirsk is ranked 23,899^th in the world and 21^st in Corsair for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 282.53 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
