The Dictatorship of Utopia72 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.437 billion Utopia72ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utopia. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Utopia72ian economy, worth 135 trillion Fes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 93,957 Fes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Trains and passengers alike are often late, farmers sing lullabies to soothe their livestock to sleep, euthanasia is legal, and military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Utopia72's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheist.

Utopia72 is ranked 90,062nd in the world and 3,217th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,364.97 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
