The Parliamentary Confederation of Spudguy is a titanic, cultured nation, notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 14.472 billion Daemons enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canberrowa. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Spudguyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,667 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 115,245 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, heartbroken parents are urged to "smile for the camera", Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, and raccoons are plump and satiated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spudguy's national animal is the Synalpheus pinkfloydi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Spudguy is ranked 18,659^th in the world and 277^th in Europe for Highest Poor Incomes, with 94,413.34 Standard Monetary Units.
