The Spending my money on pudding of Puddingland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Pudding Man with an even hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, enforced nudity, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 4.248 billion Puddinglanders are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Administration, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pudding Town. The average income tax rate is 46.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Puddinglander economy, worth 384 trillion spoons 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. 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 90,425 spoons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political speeches that drill deep into bureaucratic fine detail could be said to be a little boring, extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, the nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs, and school lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Puddingland's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Puddingism.

Puddingland is ranked 68,180th in the world and 1,578th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 90,425.65 Standard Monetary Units.
