The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth 861 trillion abolisheds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal.

Average income is an impressive 171,764 abolisheds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. Bigpipstan's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Neo-Harmonism.
