The People's Democratic Republic of Kugguf is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Kim Dacia with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.316 billion Kuggufians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bortiza. The average income tax rate is 65.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Kuggufian economy, worth 137 trillion Tonmoes 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Trout Farming, and Tourism. 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 59,234 Tonmoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Basic multiplication is all you need to know to have a child, sushi is sold on the black market, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and Brancalandian Brie isn't available anywhere in Kugguf. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kugguf's national animal is the Fivi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Taengann.

Kugguf is ranked 75,693^rd in the world and 1,238^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 3,509.76 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
