The Democratic Republic of Upper Tuchoim is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by President Bittiag Dunthu'ziq with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, enslaved workforce, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.863 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 tiny, 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 2.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Upper Tuchoimi economy, worth a remarkable 1,058 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 273,919 qriu'zes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,549,797 per year while the poor average 2,666, a ratio of 956 to 1.

The Upper Tuchoimi Tourism Bureau has described the abolition of coastal defences as a "kick to the groyne", politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, creating cardboard imitations of missiles is a new top-secret military project, and the nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations. Crime is all-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 286,420th in the world and 121st in Geopolity for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -32.56 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
