The Universal Commonwealth Unity of Ipugao is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Afafu-Adadyin Bog'a Magat with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, devout population of 9.227 billion ad Yidyin 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kiyyangan. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yidyin economy, worth a remarkable 1,972 trillion Temples a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 213,762 Temples, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ipugao is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, the nation's best artists are considered pretty easy to beat, libraries have replaced overdue book fines with mandatory mental health assessments, and any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ipugao's national animal is the Crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Yidyinism and Universal Devotion.

Ipugao is ranked 9,872^nd in the world and 220^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 427.33 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
