Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Swords of Tupa is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Floris with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working population of 24.584 billion Tupans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Law & Order and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tinsel. The average income tax rate is 52.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tupan economy, worth 663 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 26,973 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Tupa's army is full of two-metre tall super-soldiers, Gunga has been named as Tupa's national religion, Floris has just been declared ruler of Tupa in an international press conference, and Tupa has designated Tinsel as its capital city. Crime is well under control. Tupa's national animal is the snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gunga.

Tupa is ranked 176,041^st in the world and 9^th in Meihua for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.77 law-abiding acts per hour.
