“Bydand”

The Grossherzogtum of Die Ungarn is a massive, devout nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.924 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Aberdeen. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the government is avowedly atheist, Die Ungarn's leader goes out to lunch surrounded by large men in dark glasses, and corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Die Ungarn's national animal is the Red Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is The Curch of Ungarn, and its currency is the Scottish Pound.

Die Ungarn is ranked 7th in the region and 52,957th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
