“I wumbo, you wumbo, he she me wumbo.”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Kingdom of Compedlandia is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.137 billion Compedlandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Compedlandian economy, worth 729 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 232,615 Pounds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,673,331 per year while the poor average 10,415, a ratio of 160 to 1.

Prohibition has allowed a Maxtopian immigrant known only as "Nipples" to establish an illicit breast milk syndicate, veterans in wheelchairs are left waist-deep in rice paddies to gather grain, Eckie-Ecola has declared that their soda poop is The Real Thing, and an eye for an eye leaves Compedlandia blind. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Compedlandia's national animal is the hedgehog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Compedlandia is ranked 176,405^th in the world and 854^th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 96.82 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
