The Holy Empire of Eastern Tamuppy is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 29 million Eastern Tamups are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 44.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Eastern Tamuppyian economy, worth 1.26 trillion playboy magazines a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,599 playboy magazines, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of jerboas and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, life-saving resuscitation is denied based on decades-old teenage diaries that declare "I want to die before I get old", reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, and beggars lack pockets for spare change. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern Tamuppy's national animal is the jerboa, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Eastern Tamuppy is ranked 203,223^rd in the world and 586^th in 10000 Islands for Most Patriotic, with 6.47 flags saluted per person per day.
