The Dominion of Sheik is a massive, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, national health service, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.234 billion 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 Healthcare, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 32.5%.

The strong Sheikian economy, worth 62.0 trillion rupees a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,229 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Government agents stalk the aisles of grocery stores for out-of-stock medications, banana distribution among collective farm workers is an important topic in public discourse, justice is blinding, and the black market offers sweet deals. Crime is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Sheik's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sheik is ranked 170,462^nd in the world and 16^th in Square Enix for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 527.67 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
