The Shenifar of Shenifar is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Pierre Van-Duceleur with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 15.945 billion Sheniferns are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Education, with Environment, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ramont. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Shenifarian economy, worth 941 trillion Marche Notes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 59,036 Marche Notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Saying "don't do anything that Pierre Van-Duceleur wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs, and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shenifar's national animal is the Red Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Animism.

Shenifar is ranked 287,292nd in the world and 115th in RGBN for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -17.51 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
