The Republic of Poppin is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.864 billion Poppinians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. The average income tax rate is 38.5%.

The all-consuming Poppinian economy, worth 489 trillion Poes a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 83,427 Poes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

They unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop), Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, and business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Poppin's national animal is the Ant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Poppin is ranked 188,609^th in the world and 8^th in Aureum locum for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 767.42 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
