The Republic of Tops 1 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.909 billion Tops 1ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 32.1%.

The strong Tops 1ian economy, worth 363 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,119 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

A popular saying is "don't do the crime if you can't smash the lime(stone)", children grow up long before the paperwork for their lemonade stands can be sorted out, every week is blindness awareness week, and a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tops 1's national animal is the emu.

Tops 1 is ranked 138,335^th in the world and 888^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Populations, with 4.91 billion capita.
