The Glorious Empire of Pupunese is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Glorious Emperor Puino III with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, triple-decker prams, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, devout population of 7.365 billion Pupunesian are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded 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 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pupunese economy, worth 973 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 132,146 Pupunese Golden Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

State officials tend to disappear after they forget to salute Glorious Emperor Puino III's portrait, catching the latest tribal tournament is to die for, finders keepers is the law of the land, and pitchforks and torches are coming back into fashion. 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 31,964^th in the world and 116^th in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,244.93 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
