The Pink Lemonade Stand of Cuddlebuns is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Niobe with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10.096 billion Cuddebuns enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cuddlebuns. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Cuddlebunian economy, worth a remarkable 2,000 trillion Golden tem flakeses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 198,180 Golden tem flakeses, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,431,776 per year while the poor average 8,742, a ratio of 163 to 1.

Welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, they say that Cuddebuns made a dessert and called it peace, schoolchildren have more trading cards than flash cards in their backpacks, and ants are charged with crimes against humanity. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cuddlebuns's national animal is the Pouka, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Bloopsjooj.

Cuddlebuns is ranked 1,667^th in the world and 8^th in Europeia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 15,525.29 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
