The Republic of Oofery 140 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed population of 2.149 billion Oofery 140ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 29.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Oofery 140ian economy, worth 105 trillion banks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,967 banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Holidays are regarded as the most miserable time of the year, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, copies of the constitution are used as toilet paper, and frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oofery 140's national animal is the card, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Oofery 140 is ranked 165,685^th in the world and 339^th in Oofery for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 77.64 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
