The Republic of Pupaphobia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Rupert T Bear with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 30.727 billion Pupaphobians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pupaphobia City. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Pupaphobian economy, worth a remarkable 2,272 trillion scisors a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 73,971 scisors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, prudishness is on the way out, the populace has developed a mortal fear of the woods, and Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pupaphobia's national animal is the termite, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is not to be scrutinised.

Pupaphobia is ranked 43,047th in the world and 4th in The Revolutionary Communist Alliance for Most Stationary, with 1,031.69331193808 days.
