The Evil Armed Psychotic Empire of Sheoss is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Daedric Lord of Cheesecake with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 34.272 billion Minions 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 prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Sheoss. The average income tax rate is 91.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Minion economy, worth an astonishing 11,588 trillion sacs a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 338,141 sacs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Sports fans complain that cricket tests now last an unbearable ten days, a new "thought police" branch is being developed, diners regard burgers made from mechanically reclaimed cow protein as "proper meat", and deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sheoss's national animal is the Unified Antiswiffer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is FRED.

Sheoss is ranked 918th in the world and 25th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 174.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
