The Democratic Republic of Countriopia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, rampant corporate plagiarism, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 30.398 billion Countriopians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Biseru. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Countriopian economy, worth an astonishing 15,320 trillion Rotons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 503,993 Rotons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, courtrooms can be a little sketchy, the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year, and houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Countriopia's national animal is the Countriopian Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Countriopia is ranked 20^th in the world and 1^st in Solidaritat for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 29,540.83 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
