The United Socialist States of Puddinia is a large, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 98 million Puddinians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Puddinian economy, worth 3.90 trillion deniers 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 dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 39,768 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens have an obligation to remain silent and anything they say may be used against them, a new "thought police" branch is being developed, flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, and the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Puddinia's national animal is the red bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Puddinia is ranked 22,216th in the world and 4th in The Anduavas for Most Secular, with 50.27 Atheism Rate.
