The Federated States of Big Eyed Animation is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by First Council with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 7.28 billion Animates are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Agate. The average income tax rate is 76.2%.

The powerhouse Big Eyed Animationian economy, worth 782 trillion Xzylops a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 107,517 Xzylops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, and dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Big Eyed Animation's national animal is the Engrod, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Big Eyed Animation is ranked 51,085^th in the world and 2,797^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 71 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
