The Stunning Stucco Strip Malls of The Bigtopia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dalinar Kholin with a fair hand, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, museums and concert halls, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.09 billion Bigtopians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urithiru. The average income tax rate is 85.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Bigtopian economy, worth 305 trillion Sphereses a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 50,139 Sphereses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a bright dawn ahead for The Bigtopia, the steaks are too high for ambassadors to butcher foreign relationships, snitches get riches, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Bigtopia's national animal is the Spren, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vorinism.

The Bigtopia is ranked 85,965^th in the world and 113^th in Thaecia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,931.92 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
