The Militaristic Federation of The Sheika is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Supreme Commander Long with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cheerful population of 21.032 billion Sheika are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlantis. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Sheikan economy, worth a remarkable 3,047 trillion Cubits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 144,911 Cubits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, tourists call Sheikan beach towns "the fine coastline", Supreme Commander Long is considering changing the Sheikan flag to one with more glitter, and transgender and agender are on the education agenda. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sheika's national animal is the Chimera, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Sheika is ranked 240,913^th in the world and 25^th in Absolution for Largest Retail Industry, scoring -29.72 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
