The Republic of Shrek is a mammoth, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Donkey population. The hard-working population of 6.571 billion Shrekians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.7%.
The Shrekian economy, worth 262 trillion Onions a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 39,907 Onions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shrek's national animal is the Donkey, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Shrek is ranked 191,087th in the world and 10,463rd in Lazarus for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 22.7 Effective Tax Rate.
