The Provincial Syndicates of Shrekistani is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by General Restoan Venre with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.915 billion Shrekists are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shrekistani's national animal is the Shrek, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of Shrek.
