The Dominion of Topazia is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 18.273 billion Topazians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Defense and International Aid aren't funded at all. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Topazian economy, worth a remarkable 5,049 trillion Talons a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 276,333 Talons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, it's rare to find an unchewed pencil, bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms, and the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Topazia's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is the Tranquility of Yellow.

Topazia is ranked 176th in the world and 2nd in The Empire of Draconic States for Largest Governments, scoring 98.17 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
