The Federal Socialist Republic of Neopie is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Foreign Representative Schulze with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.352 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, outspoken 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 3,564 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 344,344 ouanepoumes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, too many hyper-intelligent chefs can spoil the allegorical broth, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. 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 136,241^st in the world and 2,521^st in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 2,094.72 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
