The Democratic Republic of Countriopia is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 30.512 billion Countriopians 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Biseru. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Countriopian economy, worth an astonishing 15,434 trillion Rotons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 505,839 Rotons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, Countriopia has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, the comic book series 'Leader and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, and enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Countriopia's national animal is the Countriopian Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Countriopia is ranked 29^th in the world and 1^st in Solidaritat for Least Corrupt Governments, with 99.05 percentage of bribes refused.
