The Democratic Republic of Countriopia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.008 billion Countriopians 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Biseru. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Countriopian economy, worth a remarkable 8,320 trillion Rotons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 396,080 Rotons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast, and workers for the environmental protection agency are patted down for tartar sauce every morning. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Countriopia's national animal is the Countriopian Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Countriopia is ranked 28^th in the world and 1^st in Solidaritat for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 51,267.48 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
