The Protectorate of Tuagolop is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, parental licensing program, and otherworldly petting zoo. The democratic, devout population of 787 million Tuags are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Tuagolopian economy, worth 49.0 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 62,235 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The children of Tuagolop are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, the average commuter spends four hours a day driving to and from work, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, and the Tuagolop Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tuagolop's national animal is the Lixard.

Tuagolop is ranked 155,132^nd in the world and 1^st in Paradise Of Unions for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 8,001.1 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
