The Empire of Biopsy is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 5.971 billion Biopsyians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Biopsyian economy, worth 411 trillion Gold Coins a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 68,903 Gold Coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 207,019 per year while the poor average 17,901, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.

All you have to do is pray to get into Biopsy, newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words', police conduct weekly raids looking for contraband cheeseburgers, and the question of 'what is Emperor Wuff's favorite color?' has been given a priority rating of burnt-orange. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Biopsy's national animal is the Cow, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Yodlism.

Biopsy is ranked 167,555th in the world and 4th in Disneyland for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
