The Republic of Uncle Sheldon is a huge, pleasant nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 880 million Uncle Sheldonians 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, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.3%.

The Uncle Sheldonian economy, worth 41.9 trillion US Dollars a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,645 US Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Men are enrolling into lady etiquette courses, medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters, Leader has just been declared ruler of Uncle Sheldon in an international press conference, and popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uncle Sheldon's national animal is the Bull, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Uncle Sheldon is ranked 118,146^th in the world and 13^th in Medici for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 680.29 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
