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

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

The Kingdom of Compedlandia is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, triple-decker prams, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.123 billion Compedlandians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

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 720 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 230,619 Pounds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,753,231 per year while the poor average 8,413, a ratio of 208 to 1.

In court almost every witness is a hostile witness, cheap goods stamped "Made In Dàguó" are increasingly rare, there's never enough space in space, and foreign governments are looking into weaponizing the infamous Compedlandian bee. 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 67,941^st in the world and 239^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,493.57 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
