The Federal Socialist Republic of Neopie is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Foreign Representative Schulze with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.098 billion Neopians 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.

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

The frighteningly efficient Neopian economy, worth a remarkable 3,001 trillion ouanepoumes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 329,956 ouanepoumes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Builders across Neopie are blocked up with orders for new public loos, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, and therapists can always squeeze in another house-call. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neopie's national animal is the turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Neopie is ranked 290,456^th in the world and 6,334^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.24 kickbacks per hour.
