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 free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.904 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, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tuchoimin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Upper Tuchoimi economy, worth a remarkable 1,069 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 274,019 qriu'zes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 975,101 per year while the poor average 55,440, a ratio of 17.6 to 1.

A signed affidavit from a prominent anti-corruption advocate declares that she is in fact a crook after all, theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, and military spending is on the increase. 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 49,623^rd in the world and 20^th in Geopolity for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 149.09 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
