The Empire of K-poptopia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Perfect Idol with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, otherworldly petting zoo, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.374 billion Koreans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seoul. The average income tax rate is 34.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Korean economy, worth a remarkable 3,814 trillion won a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 219,562 won, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Many believe that the Perfect Idol's head is big enough for the sun to orbit around it, even secular Koreans are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", K-poptopia is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and tourists outnumber citizens two to one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. K-poptopia's national animal is the Siberian tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Girlgroupism.

K-poptopia is ranked 258,982nd in the world and 12th in Osakaland for Most Primitive, scoring -184.62 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
