The People's Republic of Sheffaigh is a fledgling, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 5 million Sheffaighians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 62.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Sheffaighian economy, worth 163 billion punts a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 32,516 punts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and all recreational drugs are legal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sheffaigh's national animal is the badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sheffaigh is ranked 28,262^nd in the world and 35^th in Horizon for Highest Drug Use, scoring 357.62 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
