The Confederacy of Weirdotopia is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 292 million Weirdotopians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The very strong Weirdotopian economy, worth 19.8 trillion IQS a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 67,915 IQS, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 212,116 per year while the poor average 16,691, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

Urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied weirdo, and the nation's air missiles have killed thousands of Brasilistan military personnel. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Weirdotopia's national animal is the weirdo.

Weirdotopia is ranked 11,187th in the world and 1st in Weirdotopia for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 6,960.28 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
