Location: The Deranged Realms

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Dessert Plate of Chocolate Fudge Cakes is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by The Elegant Devourer of Cake with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.178 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Muffins. The average income tax rate is 62%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

Agricultural science is the most competitive subject at Chocolate Fudge Cakes's universities, recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable, internet service is too costly for normal people to purchase, and Chocolate Fudge Cakes's leader goes out to lunch surrounded by large men in dark glasses. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chocolate Fudge Cakes's national animal is the Cookie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Dessert Spoon.

Chocolate Fudge Cakes is ranked 5th in The Deranged Realms and 30,161st in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
