The Republic of Kuppenheier is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 958 million Kuppenheierians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 13.6%.

The strong Kuppenheierian economy, worth 46.0 trillion Testens a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling. Average income is 48,060 Testens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Kuppenheier's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kuppenheier is ranked 231,032^nd in the world and 3^rd in Tree landia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 213.03 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
