Location: the Rejected Realms

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Free Republic of Last Utopia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 20.321 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Utopia. The average income tax rate is 92%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, embarrassed police officers wear spandex and carry net guns, and politicians are to be found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Last Utopia's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the yang.

Last Utopia is ranked 1,305th in the Rejected Realms and 101,489th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
