The Republic of Sheura is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, prohibition of alcohol, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 467 million Sheurans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chita. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.5%.

The thriving Sheuran economy, worth 36.3 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,807 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries, being Leader has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, builders across Sheura are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sheura's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sheura is ranked 125,562^nd in the world and 4,854^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 744.61 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
