The Kingdom of Tupmonia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Joseph VII with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, zero percent divorce rate, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.735 billion Tupmonians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magnolia. The average income tax rate is 42.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Tupmonian economy, worth 314 trillion TUPS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,164 TUPS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
The nation gives peace a chance - usually one in a million, the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and toxic smog is dismissed as the populace just "letting off steam". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tupmonia's national animal is the Hound, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Jonism.
Tupmonia is ranked 37,161st in the world and 455th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
