The Stunning Stucco Strip Malls of The Bigtopia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Dalinar Kholin with a fair hand, and renowned for its lack of airports, daily referendums, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 5.878 billion Bigtopians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urithiru. The average income tax rate is 85.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Bigtopian economy, worth 279 trillion Sphereses a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 47,477 Sphereses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a bright dawn ahead for The Bigtopia, the steaks are too high for ambassadors to butcher foreign relationships, snitches get riches, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Bigtopia's national animal is the Spren, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vorinism.

The Bigtopia is ranked 147,001st in the world and 93rd in Thaecia for Most Stationary, with 175.84667912472 days.
