The United Socialist States of Neopie is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Foreign Representative Schulze with a fair hand, and renowned for its digital currency, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.009 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 2,950 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 327,474 ouanepoumes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Newly synthesized elements' half-lives are a million times shorter than the time it takes to say their names, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, sociologists can charge whatever fee they like as the nation tries to find itself, and fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding". 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 435^th in the world and 22^nd in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 205.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
