The Republic of Topkapia is a massive, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.944 billion Topkapians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Topkapia City. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Topkapian economy, worth 306 trillion topkapian credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,250 topkapian credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Topkapia's national animal is the peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Topkapia is ranked 30,925^th in the world and 710^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 215.17 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
