The Grapes of Wrath of Convictopia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, anti-smoking policies, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, devout population of 28.936 billion Convictopians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 53.8%.

The very strong Convictopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,722 trillion $$s a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,515 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Convictopia's national animal is the ^-^, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Convictopia is ranked 249,268^th in the world and 1^st in Balkans for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.92 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
