The Allied States of Sheave is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.266 billion Scefian are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scefiopolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.8%.

The strong Scefian economy, worth 66.1 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,173 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, private clinics eagerly advertise their trivial specialties, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, and full-page newspaper ads are taken out linking apples and gravitational acceleration. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Sheave's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Sheave is ranked 2,327^th in the world and 5^th in Horizon for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 7,955.36 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
