The Free Land of FoidenBludden is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 20 million Bluddas enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 41.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The weak Foidebludo economy, worth 633 billion Foiden Coins 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 significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 31,628 Foiden Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bridge salesmen line up for blocks to make their cases at Leader's office, bins outnumber trees in city parks, snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime is totally unknown. FoidenBludden's national animal is the 1992 Honda Civic Ferio VT, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

FoidenBludden is ranked 96,127^th in the world and 8^th in Kellick Isles for Smartest Citizens, with 37.3 quips per hour.
