The Empire of Negentropia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Chop with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.462 billion Negentropians 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 enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Negentromegalopolis. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Negentropian economy, worth 711 trillion Reverse Entropic Tokens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 159,460 Reverse Entropic Tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students, terrified neighbors cower behind concertina wire and arrow loops, worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts, and sales of superhero insurance have skyrocketed after the government abandoned the police in favor of vigilantes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Negentropia's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Negentropia is ranked 305,452^nd in the world and 2,626^th in the West Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 2.97 Obesity Rate.
