The Hellhole of Fudgedup is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chairman Jake Mao Paul with an even hand, and notable for its lack of airports, complete lack of public education, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 17.104 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, with Industry also on the agenda, 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 7,648 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 447,166 cheques, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,170,783 per year while the poor average 4,246, a ratio of 982 to 1.

Lonely people are supposed to be cheered up by the many parties that they are never invited to, traveller camps regularly block five-lane superhighways, all tariffs have been abolished, and restaurants have noticed that hanging wet laundry from the ceiling makes diners order more food. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fudgedup is ranked 291,941^st in the world and 20^th in The Graveyard for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring -84.68 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
