The Grand Overkingdom of Sheeptopia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Imperator Ovan XXII with an iron fist, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, pith helmet sales, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 44.399 billion Sheeptopians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ovinian Magnus. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Sheeptopian economy, worth an astonishing 29,889 trillion noofnards a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 673,207 noofnards, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 6,305,682 per year while the poor average 6,055, a ratio of 1,041 to 1.

Tesco was recently named as the new national treasurer, parents must decide between buying food and taking their children to the park, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and unused plastic recycling bins are being dumped into landfills by the tonne. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sheeptopia's national animal is the sheep, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Emperor Cult.

Sheeptopia is ranked 4,749th in the world and 6th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Stationary, with 3,311.6645472 days.
