The Republic of 143-UB is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning sheep population. The democratic population of 4.751 billion 143-UBians 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 Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient 143-UBian economy, worth 143 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,121 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 143-UB's national animal is the sheep.

143-UB is ranked 121,935^th in the world and 1^st in Galactic Assembly for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 4,302.34 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
