The Topid Troll Defense Puppet of Ugdam is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 30.14 billion Ugdamians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, although Healthcare, Education, and Defense are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Ugdamian economy, worth 789 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,184 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ugdam's national animal is the bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Ugdam is ranked 131,957th in the world and 3rd in World Assembly for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
