The Incorporated States of Souptopita is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.54 billion Souptopitans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.0%.

The powerhouse Souptopitan economy, worth 460 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 70,363 lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 237,743 per year while the poor average 15,402, a ratio of 15.4 to 1.

Children fear compulsory visits to their spiritual advisors more than the dentist, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Souptopitan Navy, and slavers view "what did your last slave die of" as a request for a demonstration. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Souptopita's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Souptopita is ranked 57,901^st in the world and 940^th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,396.15 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
