The Dictatorship of Tugupaw is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.197 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 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tugupawian economy, worth 211 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 176,872 Kullars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, shaken martini sales have soared in nations surrounding Tugupaw, helium balloons lift the nation's spacecraft towards the heavens, and harassed women are constantly hassled by guys who are "just giving them compliments". 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 274,045^th in the world and 5,675^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -268.6 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
