The Minister of Regional Affairs of Topid is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Alex Corvis with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 9.014 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals devotes most of its attentions to Commerce, with areas such as Social Equality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crow City. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports industries.

The "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Crow City Times is sold out, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, private business has started paving paradises and putting up parking lots, and the workforce is almost entirely made up of slave labour. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Topid's national animal is the Crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Heartagrism, and its currency is the dollar.

Topid is ranked 4,423rd in the South Pacific and 130,023rd in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -197 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
