The Federal Socialist Republic of Neopie is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Foreign Representative Schulze with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, soft-spoken computers, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.058 billion Neopians 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 large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neopia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Neopian economy, worth a remarkable 2,975 trillion ouanepoumes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 328,546 ouanepoumes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, and jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neopie's national animal is the turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Neopie is ranked 292,656^th in the world and 6,436^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -1159.49 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
