The Federal State of Toplandia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Federal Board of Governors with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.644 billion Toplandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Topolis. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Toplandian economy, worth 467 trillion tops a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,398 tops, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, immigrant herding has become a national pastime, television executives are interested in turning The Federal Board of Governors's zany home life into a sitcom, and what goes down must come up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Toplandia's national animal is the duck-billed platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Toplandia is ranked 37,447^th in the world and 784^th in The Communist Bloc for Safest, scoring 106.53 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
