The Kingdom of Shameer is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 80 million Shameerians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 12.1%.

The strong Shameerian economy, worth 4.04 trillion SRS a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 50,539 SRS, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Shameer's national animal is the Camel, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Shameer is ranked 59,384^th in the world and 272^nd in Carcassonne for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.7 percentage of bribes refused.
