The Topid Troll Defense Puppet of Ugdam is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 35.557 billion Ugdamians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare, Education, and Defense also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Ugdamian economy, worth 931 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,184 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ugdam's national animal is the bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ugdam is ranked 239,134^th in the world and 2^nd in World Assembly for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,255.54 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
