The Republic of Sha Hock Fregoia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Darian Soltren with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.123 billion Sha Hock Fregoians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Altura. The average income tax rate is 59.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sha Hock Fregoian economy, worth 114 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 102,345 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants, the Communist Party claims that selling things for profit isn't necessarily capitalism, and Baptist has been named as Sha Hock Fregoia's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sha Hock Fregoia's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Baptist.
