The United Tribes of Sheariliik is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Salabiah von Zhark und Florecer with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 37.375 billion Shearilecians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Environment, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Espyn. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Shearilecian economy, worth a remarkable 5,280 trillion Shearilecian Rupiahs a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,279 Shearilecian Rupiahs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of Horn Sharks and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, Salabiah von Zhark und Florecer is considering changing the nation's name to Blackacre, and the nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sheariliik's national animal is the Horn Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Shearilecian Polytheism.

Sheariliik is ranked 2,030^th in the world and 4^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Largest Populations, with 37.4 billion capita.
