The Provincial Syndicates of Shrekistani is a massive, genial nation, ruled by General Restoan Venre with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, prohibition of alcohol, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 3.714 billion Shrekists are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Faristadt Dobb. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Shrekist economy, worth 515 trillion Shrekist Onions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 138,853 Shrekist Onions, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, an internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of General Restoan Venre, and political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from General Restoan Venre's throne. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shrekistani's national animal is the Shrek, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of Shrek.

Shrekistani is ranked 293,842nd in the world and 251st in Thaecia for Most Stationary, with 1.4160754826 days.
