The Glorious Empire of Pupunese is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Glorious Emperor Puino III with an even hand, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 7.159 billion Pupunesi are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Puputown. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pupunese economy, worth 922 trillion Pupunese Golden Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 128,810 Pupunese Golden Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Election officials are delivered in 30 minutes or money back, the economy is booming loud enough to drown out the cries of its digital labour, people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, and citizens who don't meet government health standards are whisked away never to be seen again. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pupunese's national animal is the Brown Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pupunist Cult.

Pupunese is ranked 13,681^st in the world and 275^th in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 88.81 on the Human Development Index.
