The Hellhole of Fudgedup is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Chairman Jake Mao Paul with an even hand, and renowned for its lack of airports, public floggings, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 9.002 billion Fudgedupians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Spirituality, although Industry is also considered important, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. 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 3,366 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 373,940 cheques, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,274,424 per year while the poor average 6,449, a ratio of 507 to 1.

Televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, heroes long thought dead are promptly killed upon their return, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, and citizens often pray for divine guidance in supermarkets. 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 4,413^th in the world and 1^st in The Graveyard for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 7,696.05 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
