The Free Land of Pupaa is a small, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 26 million Pupaans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.8%.

The Pupaan economy, worth 1.40 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 53,766 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Pupaa's national animal is the cow, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Pupaa is ranked 27,482^nd in the world and 101^st in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,765.63 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
