The Free Land of Lupical is a huge, safe nation, notable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and labour-free parental leave. The cynical population of 413 million Lupicalians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Lupicalian economy, worth 22.3 trillion paws a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,066 paws, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

90% of active duty LAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones, most ambassadors from Lupical retire only a few years after being appointed, cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, and society has literally been thrown to the wolves. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lupical's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lupical is ranked 23,331^st in the world and 363^rd in Europe for Most Secular, with 46.32 Atheism Rate.
