The Dictatorship of Tugupaw is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, parental licensing program, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.251 billion Tugupawians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tugupawian. The average income tax rate is 80.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tugupawian economy, worth 220 trillion Kullars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 176,634 Kullars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

A suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, group hugs break out during floor votes, former bakers no longer have to get their baps out, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tugupaw's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tugupaw is ranked 11,276^th in the world and 264^th in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 9,238.9 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
