The Vermindom of Szczuropolis is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Control Group with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 42.062 billion Szczuropoles have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Education, with Administration, Environment, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rock Fort. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Szczuropolinesian economy, worth an astonishing 18,960 trillion auriculas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an amazing 450,782 auriculas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Everyone seems to be pushing the buttons of AIs, political detractors refer to the Control Group as 'that Bigtopian puppet', shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, and new homeowners go furniture hunting with crowbars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Szczuropolis's national animal is the fancy white horned rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is amalgamated cheesetianity and cheeselam.

Szczuropolis is ranked 596^th in the world and 1^st in Dragon for Lowest Crime Rates, with 188.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
