The Grand Overkingdom of Sheeptopia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Imperator Ovan XXII with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, complete lack of public education, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 44.62 billion Sheeptopians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ovinian Magnus. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Sheeptopian economy, worth an astonishing 30,049 trillion noofnards a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 673,445 noofnards, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 6,307,912 per year while the poor average 6,057, a ratio of 1,041 to 1.

Children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-noofnard charge on their phone bill, stockbrokers dream of getting rich by writing textbooks, charity workers dole out hardtack from behind designer sunglasses, and takeaway food bought on the weekend now comes with fifty percent more sweat and tears. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sheeptopia's national animal is the sheep, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Emperor Cult.

Sheeptopia is ranked 515th in the world and 1st in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Largest Populations, with 44.6 billion capita.
