The Stunning Stucco Strip Malls of The Bigtopia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dalinar Kholin with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.107 billion Bigtopians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urithiru. The average income tax rate is 61.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Bigtopian economy, worth 303 trillion Sphereses a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 49,724 Sphereses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a bright dawn ahead for The Bigtopia, the steaks are too high for ambassadors to butcher foreign relationships, snitches get riches, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Bigtopia's national animal is the Spren, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vorinism.

The Bigtopia is ranked 9,469^th in the world and 29^th in Thaecia for Safest, scoring 121.83 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
