The Watchfires of TUGK is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, ritual sacrifices, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 22.955 billion TUGKians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.7%.
The thriving TUGKian economy, worth a remarkable 1,865 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 81,265 $$s, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 315,473 per year while the poor average 14,330, a ratio of 22.0 to 1.
Banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, aides are afraid to ask if Leader wants a cup of tea or coffee, TUGK is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and the government has returned all business to private ownership. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TUGK's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
TUGK is ranked 10,501st in the world and 1st in The Empire of the United German Kingdoms for Most Stationary, with 2,292.7959978874 days.
