The Democratic Republic of Upper Tuchoim is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by President Bittiag Dunthu'ziq with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.923 billion Tuchoimis are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tuchoimin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Upper Tuchoimi economy, worth 691 trillion qriu'zes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 236,545 qriu'zes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,196,888 per year while the poor average 2,366, a ratio of 928 to 1.

Pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, wait staff claim to like it when odorous customers flirt with them, surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods, and Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested. Crime is pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Upper Tuchoim's national animal is the mosquito, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Upper Tuchoim is ranked 99,730th in the world and 33rd in Geopolity for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,485.19 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
