The Anocratic empire of Bigpipstan is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Bigpip with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.677 billion Imperials are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial castle. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 1,814 trillion Credits 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 209,092 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is against the rules of boxing to hit above or below the belt, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, life is somewhat repetitive, and a major piece of minority legislation allows a majority of minority interests to majorly undermine majority politics. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bigpipstan's national animal is the Gootraxian, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Neo-Harmonism.
