The Dominion of Topazia is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, lack of airports, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 14.724 billion Topazians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Defense and International Aid receive no funds. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Topazian economy, worth a remarkable 3,952 trillion Ploras a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 268,409 Ploras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Angry citizens complain that there isn't enough geographical diversity on the new banknotes, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, children are raised bilingual from an early age, and the most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Topazia's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is the Tranquility of Yellow.
Topazia is ranked 313,802nd in the world and 3rd in The Empire of Draconic States for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -172 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
