The Commonwealth of Biotopia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Comrade Jarl Alanthaal with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, rampant corporate plagiarism, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 40.035 billion Biotopians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Laborup. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Biotopian economy, worth an astonishing 13,388 trillion Biotopian International Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 334,416 Biotopian International Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government single-handedly sustains the bunk bed market, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, and feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary. Crime is totally unknown. Biotopia's national animal is the sea serpent, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Spectre of Communism.

Biotopia is ranked 225^th in the world and 2^nd in The Leftist Assembly for Most Developed, scoring 99.83 on the Human Development Index.
