The Empire of CruddsDuddsAye is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.088 billion CruddsDuddsAyeans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bone Crusher. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.7%.

The frighteningly efficient CruddsDuddsAyean economy, worth 166 trillion Arg Bargs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 153,298 Arg Bargs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 475,532 per year while the poor average 38,049, a ratio of 12.5 to 1.

The government loves seeing the little people fight, Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, it's harder to qualify for IVF than for a good university, and governments opposing CruddsDuddsAye are beset by rebels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CruddsDuddsAye's national animal is the Wet Shaking Rat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

CruddsDuddsAye is ranked 4,054^th in the world and 6^th in Portugal for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 130,763.33 Standard Monetary Units.
