The Federal Republic of Bystopia is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Aiko Kawasaki with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.597 billion Bystopians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Juvi. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bystopian economy, worth a remarkable 5,776 trillion Stopians a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 310,639 Stopians, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, nine out of ten citizens of Bystopia answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation, and for some reason the census focuses on daily banana ingestion and hourly quip rate. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bystopia's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shinto.

Bystopia is ranked 2,797^th in the world and 2^nd in Liberty Democratic Alliance for Highest Average Incomes, with 310,639.08 Standard Monetary Units.
