The Queendom of Popotina is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.525 billion Popotinans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 52.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Popotinan economy, worth 145 trillion Hellenic coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 57,494 Hellenic coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, and slow dancing is made trickier when Auntie Edna insists on standing between the couple's arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Popotina's national animal is the Pegasus, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Popotina is ranked 93,043^rd in the world and 16^th in Dimmersun for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,688.56 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
