The United Imperial Commonwealth of Ipugao is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 654 million Ipugaos have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kiyyangan. The average income tax rate is 63.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ipugao economy, worth 97.1 trillion Pihhu and friendships a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 148,429 Pihhu and friendships, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities, the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, and the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ipugao's national animal is the Werewolf Omen birds and Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ipugao is ranked 198,185^th in the world and 6,951^st in the South Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 7.99 Obesity Rate.
