The Republic of Fupiju is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Tenshō with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 9.071 billion Fupijuans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Axiom. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fupijuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,245 trillion Fupimoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,275 Fupimoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, exterminators swarm Fupijuan homes, the Fupijuan government is the world's largest NGO, and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fupiju's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kataclisme.

Fupiju is ranked 4,583^rd in the world and 204^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 48.27 average smiles per day.
