The Principality of Neo Populus is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its smutty television, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 831 million Populites are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Denson. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Neo Populusian economy, worth 72.1 trillion Pops a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,723 Pops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Children who refuse to share their crayons are arrested, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, artificial intelligences seeking exciting work are overcome with ennui, and the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo Populus's national animal is the Sunfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Neo Populus is ranked 296,304^th in the world and 4,376^th in The North Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -10.27 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
