The Republic of Sheer Celan is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The democratic population of 9.737 billion Sheer Celanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 18.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Sheer Celanian economy, worth 287 trillion bitcoins a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,548 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, the Sheer Celan City Women's Prison Choir now has a baritone section, the upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, and well-off serial killers write monthly checks to avoid jail time. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Sheer Celan's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Sheer Celan is ranked 198,851^st in the world and 8,586^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.77 law-abiding acts per hour.
