The Democratic Republic of United Sheikh is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Legendary Musa Balls Master with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 1.452 billion United Sheikhians 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HSSB. The average income tax rate is 54.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming United Sheikhian economy, worth 170 trillion McLarens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 117,488 McLarens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, and theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Sheikh's national animal is the Musa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

United Sheikh is ranked 17,882^nd in the world and 567^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,079.38 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
