The City State of Topeka is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by King Priam with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, prohibition of alcohol, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working population of 6.371 billion Aels have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 42.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Topekan economy, worth 225 trillion Rupees a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 35,348 Rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

'Totally Not Partisan News' is a line item on the government budget, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, and all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Topeka's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Aelwynnic.

Topeka is ranked 236,329^th in the world and 13^th in No Mans Land for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -2.83 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
