The Tirupati Laddu-Eaters of Vegetarian States is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Irālā Hari Gundlapalli with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.91 billion Laddu-Eaters 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tirupati. The average income tax rate is 3.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Tirupati economy, worth a remarkable 3,372 trillion pagodas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 283,144 pagodas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, political candidates recite daily pledges of loyalty to their chosen party, the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, and over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vegetarian States's national animal is the Punganur cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Vaikhānasa.

Vegetarian States is ranked 304,131st in the world and 158th in India for Lowest Crime Rates, with 23.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
