"notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The cynical population of 5 million Puddinglandians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich." In a nutshell. [spoiler]The Dictatorship of Puddingland is a fledgling, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The cynical population of 5 million Puddinglandians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet. The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 49.9%, but much higher for the wealthy. The fragile Puddinglandian economy, worth 114 billion Dead Babieses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 22,984 Dead Babieses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Puddingland's national animal is the Great White Shark.[/spoiler] Full story Also, crime and religion do not happen here. Just saying.
