The Corporatist Republic of Kutapulo is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Unaŋ Kagawad Batad with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, state-planned economy, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.427 billion Kútapúloanans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Púsuŋbánua. The average income tax rate is 10.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kutapuloan economy, worth 606 trillion Buláuans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 176,991 Buláuans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

City budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, and excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Kutapulo's national animal is the Kálbáu, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kútapúloŋ Kadakəlan.

Kutapulo is ranked 79,736th in the world and 30th in Psychotic Dictatorships for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,240.48 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
