The Federal Republic of Addisotopia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leslie Knope with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.78 billion Addisotopians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caribou City DA. The average income tax rate is 85.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Addisotopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,826 trillion Addisotopian Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 123,557 Addisotopian Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bad punctuation has come to a full stop, constituents prefer a carrot and boomstick approach to dealing with politicians, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, and artists are pillars of society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Addisotopia's national animal is the Caribou, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Addisotopia is ranked 22,733^rd in the world and 1,263^rd in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 21.25 average smiles per day.
