The Anocratic empire of Bigpipstan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Bigpip with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates.

The frighteningly efficient Bigpipstanian economy, worth 733 trillion abolisheds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 162,538 abolisheds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. Bigpipstan's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Neo-Harmonism.
