The Holy Empire of PoopyWoops is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 664 million PoopyWoopsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish PoopyWoopsian economy, worth 12.7 trillion Poops a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 19,154 Poops, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists on boat cruises can't figure out why they smell so fishy afterward, evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, school uniforms are compulsory, and the government funds private schools for intellectually gifted children. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PoopyWoops's national animal is the Human Test Subject, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

PoopyWoops is ranked 243,967^th in the world and 8,915^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 63 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
