The Free Republic of Truzipa is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Dominic Sevback with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 1.333 billion Truzipans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Truzpian City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Truzipan economy, worth 137 trillion Miuags a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,241 Miuags, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

People who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, and many working fathers have never seen their children. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Truzipa's national animal is the Bee, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Yodleism.

Truzipa is ranked 258,252^nd in the world and 204^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Cultured, scoring 62 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
