The Federal Socialist Republic of Neopie is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Foreign Representative Schulze with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.605 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, outspoken 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 3,701 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 349,009 ouanepoumes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, both criminals and civilians are DOA, and statues of famous citizens are erected or demolished on a purely partisan basis. 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 257,065^th in the world and 2,567^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 116 billion Standard Monetary Units.
