The Republic of Topologica is a fledgling, genial nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 5 million Topologicans 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Topologican economy, worth 51.8 billion δ-cluster points a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 10,359 δ-cluster points, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, military funding has been stripped back, and voting is voluntary. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Topologica's national animal is the characteristic class, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Topologica is ranked 151,433^rd in the world and 694^th in Europe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 378.66 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
