The Federated States of Big Eyed Animation is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by First Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, ubiquitous missile silos, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.219 billion Animates are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bagate. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Big Eyed Animationian economy, worth a remarkable 1,261 trillion Xzylops a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 153,541 Xzylops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans, a rusted hulk in Bagate harbour has been voted the worst eyesore in Lazarus, and the restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Big Eyed Animation's national animal is the Engorod, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Big Eyed Animation is ranked 6,596^th in the world and 356^th in Lazarus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,092.46 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
