The Empire of Tuptoogza is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, zero percent divorce rate, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.16 billion Tuptoogzans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Tuptoogzan economy, worth a remarkable 2,085 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 205,254 Pesos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 798,345 per year while the poor average 36,081, a ratio of 22.1 to 1.
Every day's an auto-de-fé day, government projects are full of waste, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, and tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tuptoogza's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Tuptoogza is ranked 78,685th in the world and 716th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 615.0135994466 days.
