The Hellhole of Fudgedup is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chairman Jake Mao Paul with an iron fist, and remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, compulsory vegetarianism, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.219 billion Fudgedupians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Spirituality, although Industry is also considered important, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Slumtown. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Fudgedupian economy, worth a remarkable 4,073 trillion cheques a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 398,660 cheques, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,733,903 per year while the poor average 3,588, a ratio of 1,040 to 1.
No one is worried about government policies any more, the nation's best artists are considered pretty easy to beat, meetings are often scheduled for "about four-ish" following complete conversion to sundials, and research into 'designer babies' is banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Fudgedup's national animal is the Landwhale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Fudgedup is ranked 184,695th in the world and 28th in The Graveyard for Most Politically Free, scoring 32.38 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
