The Fleeting Bliss of Brief Utopia is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Council Leader Heaven Fleeting with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, anti-smoking policies, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 10.826 billion Brief Utopians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bliss-Blink City. The average income tax rate is 24.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Brief Utopian economy, worth 532 trillion glitters a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,225 glitters, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, foreign leaders are advising that Council Leader Heaven Fleeting's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, many in Brief Utopia are born in the purple, and candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Brief Utopia's national animal is the butterfly and its national religion is a second of happiness.

Brief Utopia is ranked 238,197^th in the world and 16^th in Seven To Many for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
