The Protectorate of Chuddystan is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 159 million Chuddystanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 42.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Chuddystanian economy, worth 3.81 trillion chudbuxes 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Soda Sales, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. 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 23,953 chudbuxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, representatives soak in mineral pools at the new capitol building day spa, thorough preparation of street foods defeats the purpose of really fast food, and passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chuddystan's national animal is the chud.

Chuddystan is ranked 114,474^th in the world and 4^th in Bep nation for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 42.27 Effective Tax Rate.
