“Cuteness above all!”

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

The Huggable Nation of Aww Teddy is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Teddy Ruxpin with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 20.652 billion Aww Teddyians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great Forest. The average income tax rate is 62.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Aww Teddyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,131 trillion Hugs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 54,764 Hugs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, Teddy Ruxpin has just been declared ruler of Aww Teddy in an international press conference, Love has been named as Aww Teddy's national religion, and Aww Teddy has designated Great Forest as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown. Aww Teddy's national animal is the Teddy, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Love.

Aww Teddy is ranked 246,830^th in the world and 166^th in Jenny for Most Patriotic, with 2.88 flags saluted per person per day.
