“It's just a prank bro!”

The Hellhole of Fudgedup is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Chairman Jake Mao Paul with an even hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 9.249 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 government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Spirituality, although Industry is also considered important, 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 3,518 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 380,458 cheques, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,872,763 per year while the poor average 14,259, a ratio of 201 to 1.

No one over the age of 35 has the slightest clue what is going on, the government's suicide hotline now redirects callers to local tax lawyers, the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, and the jackhammer is considered a tool of artistic criticism. 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 teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Fudgedup is ranked 221,872^nd in the world and 64^th in The Graveyard for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring -44.37 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
