The Republic of Snackstopia is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 271 million Snackstopians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 12.3%.

The Snackstopian economy, worth 14.7 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 54,197 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied unicorn, Leader has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves, racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle, and visitors to Violet Rock City are stunned to learn that they must memorize the "99 Principles" before entering. Crime is relatively low. Snackstopia's national animal is the unicorn, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Snackstopia is ranked 60,789^th in the world and 22^nd in Benigtopia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 257.45 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
