The Militaristic Federation of The Sheika is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Supreme Commander Long with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 27.784 billion Sheika enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded 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 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Sheikan economy, worth a remarkable 4,147 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 149,277 Cubits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, the government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, and for some reason the census focuses on daily banana ingestion and hourly quip rate. 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 285,115^th in the world and 21^st in Absolution for Most Primitive, scoring -437.66 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
