The Glorious Socialist Empire of Pupunese is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Glorious Emperor Puino III with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.788 billion Pupunesi enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government prioritizes Administration, although Environment, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Puputown. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pupunese economy, worth 386 trillion Pupunese Golden Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 102,138 Pupunese Golden Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drug-related crimes carry the death penalty, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, and the government has stated an intention to min-max its stats for 'teh pwnage'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pupunese's national animal is the Brown Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Puinist Cult.

Pupunese is ranked 47,108^th in the world and 278^th in Europe for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 5,361.92 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
