The Federal Socialist Republic of Neopie is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Foreign Representative Schulze with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.093 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, socially-minded 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 2,998 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 329,785 ouanepoumes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, and the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks. 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 384^th in the world and 21^st in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 196.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
