The Federal Republic of Turnips is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hakurei Townshend with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate population of 4.264 billion Neeple are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tumshire. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Neepoleon economy, worth 622 trillion Carrets a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,857 Carrets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, conspiracy theorists allege Tumshire's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, many suspect the government "doth protest too much" with their curiously specific denials of conspiracy theories, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Turnips's national animal is the Rotabagge, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Turnips is ranked 284,591^st in the world and 4,198^th in The North Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -13 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
