The Federal Socialist Republic of Neopie is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Foreign Representative Schulze with a fair hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, national health service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.075 billion Neopians 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 large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neopia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Neopian economy, worth a remarkable 2,992 trillion ouanepoumes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 329,743 ouanepoumes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry, an endless multinational bureaucracy connects the Red Bloc, and internal strife within the Red Bloc crumbles in the face of fiery rhetoric. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neopie's national animal is the turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Neopie is ranked 289,634^th in the world and 6,290^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -24.49 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
