The Republic of Tuptoogza10 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, public floggings, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.446 billion Tuptoogza10ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tuptoogza10ian economy, worth 655 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 147,534 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, and school lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tuptoogza10's national animal is the Spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tuptoogza10 is ranked 10,079th in the world and 581st in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 100.93 law-abiding acts per hour.
