“What is this salad that you speak of?”

The Obese Union of Violent Fat People is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Zakkary Graham with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.548 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Burgersberg. The average income tax rate is 100%. A large private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, and public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Violent Fat People's national animal is the Elephino, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the Cheeseburger.

Violent Fat People is ranked 161st in the region and 46,975th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
