The Commonwealth of Dippertopia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Trembly-Rimmer with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 24.287 billion Dippertopians 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orlando. The average income tax rate is 31.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Dippertopian economy, worth a remarkable 5,661 trillion Dollarpounds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 233,101 Dollarpounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Students do more community service than homework, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, priceless Maxtopian artwork can often be found in executive bathrooms, and the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces. Crime is totally unknown. Dippertopia's national animal is the Polymorph, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Dippertopia is ranked 247,387th in the world and 2,422nd in the West Pacific for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -2.45 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
