The Hellhole of Fudgedup is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chairman Jake Mao Paul with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 13.354 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 Industry, with Spirituality also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. 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 5,825 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 436,257 cheques, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,069,020 per year while the poor average 4,142, a ratio of 982 to 1.

Possession of tomato seeds with intent to garden is a criminal offence, where your food came from is an unknowable mystery, voodoo economists believe that feeding criminals to volcanoes will bring untold riches to Fudgedup, and Chairman Jake Mao Paul's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many. 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 66^th in the world and 1^st in The Graveyard for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 42,124.22 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
