The Dominion of Sheik is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 753 million Sheikians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized, moralistic, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 31.8%.

The strong Sheikian economy, worth 36.9 trillion rupees a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 49,028 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Hell hath no fury like an ocean scorned, tie-dye has been outlawed for being 'too occult', consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, and concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas". Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sheik's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sheik is ranked 100,443^rd in the world and 27^th in Square Enix for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,541.85 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
