The Anocratic empire of Bigpipstan is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Bigpip with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.117 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, 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 3,144 trillion CBDCS 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 significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 222,758 CBDCS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new Gootraxian Supremacy Party is faring well in the polls, Imperial watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, ship captains always order a return to port at the slightest sign of rain, and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. 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.

Bigpipstan is ranked 1,466^th in the world and 1^st in Pony planets for Least Corrupt Governments, with 96.92 percentage of bribes refused.
