The Empire of Governmentopia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Honorable Aldrich with an even hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 17.473 billion Governmentopians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aldrichopolis. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Governmentopian economy, worth 939 trillion dollars 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 53,788 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
There's a bright dawn ahead for Governmentopia, bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', and planespotters are emigrating in droves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Governmentopia's national animal is the Flamingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Governmentopia is ranked 177,134th in the world and 2nd in Altoria for Most Corrupt Governments, with 3.12 kickbacks per hour.
