The United Seafaring Powers of Neopie is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Defense Representative Maxwell with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, soft-spoken computers, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.179 billion Neopians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neopia. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Neopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,327 trillion ouanepoumes 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, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 256,248 ouanepoumes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, the government snoops on private internet connections, gift baskets often contain working nukes, and a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neopie's national animal is the turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Neopie is ranked 1,917^th in the world and 96^th in The North Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 96.55 percentage of bribes refused.
