The Corporatist Republic of Kutapulo is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Unaŋ Kagawad Batad with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.485 billion Kútapúloanans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Púsuŋbánua. The average income tax rate is 10.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kutapuloan economy, worth 624 trillion Buláuans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 179,329 Buláuans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night, pharmacists increasingly claim they are morally obligated to take long lunches, the image of Kutapulo's future is just a picture from last century, and referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kutapulo's national animal is the Kálbáu, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kútapúloŋ Kadakəlan.

Kutapulo is ranked 313,449th in the world and 23rd in Psychotic Dictatorships for Nicest Citizens, with 0.59 average smiles per day.
