The Holy Empire of Oofery 173 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 2.098 billion Oofery 173ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 41.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Oofery 173ian economy, worth 59.3 trillion banks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 28,285 banks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sex changes are routinely performed at Oofery 173's hospitals, tie-dye has been outlawed for being 'too occult', surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space', and it is now illegal for teens to view any sites except Club Kitten and My Little Donkey. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oofery 173's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oofery 173 is ranked 241,891^st in the world and 381^st in Oofery for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -5.44 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
