The Republic of Tughampton is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Kublai with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 778 million Tughamptonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ronaldoville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Tughamptonian economy, worth 94.3 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 121,187 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation, orange is the new black for judicial robes, the Super-Spud Cinematic Universe is breaking box office records, and ratings for sitcom reruns are often much higher than election debates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tughampton's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Tughampton is ranked 32,249^th in the world and 1,053^rd in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,003.86 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
