The Deliciousness of Cupcake Princess is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.675 billion Cupcake Princessians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Cupcake Princessian economy, worth 288 trillion cupcakes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 17,324 cupcakes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cupcake Princess's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cupcake Princess is ranked 152,165th in the world and 1,415th in Artificial Solar System for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 556.36 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
