The Federated States of Big Eyed Animation is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by First Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.601 billion Animates enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bagate. The average income tax rate is 85.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Big Eyed Animationian economy, worth a remarkable 1,409 trillion Xzylops a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 163,851 Xzylops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Hackers post hourly updates on international summits, drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, and First Council reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Big Eyed Animation's national animal is the Engorod, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Big Eyed Animation is ranked 152,437^th in the world and 6,836^th in Lazarus for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,684.52 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
