The United States of Smudzlandia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sole Wanderer with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.411 billion Smudzlandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Diamond City. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Smudzlandian economy, worth a remarkable 4,845 trillion Caps a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 263,181 Caps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, parking lots are littered with coffee cups and doughnut crumbs, pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime is totally unknown. Smudzlandia's national animal is the Winking Skeever, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Smudzlandia is ranked 42,242nd in the world and 2,124th in Lazarus for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 715.03 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
