The Sultanate of Tuptoogza8 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.504 billion Tuptoogza8ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Tuptoogza8ian economy, worth 694 trillion Yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 154,140 Yen, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, and endangered species are effective hostages against the Tuptoogza8ian military. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tuptoogza8's national animal is the Spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tuptoogza8 is ranked 46,466^th in the world and 2,809^th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 55,725.62 Standard Monetary Units.
