The Voices of Mad Gollum is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 18.652 billion Mad Gollumians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government prioritizes Welfare, although Healthcare and Education are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 51.1%.

The Mad Gollumian economy, worth 614 trillion Preciouses 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 Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 32,956 Preciouses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have been outlawed, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mad Gollum's national animal is the Fishes.

Mad Gollum is ranked 16,995^th in the world and 9^th in Middle Earth for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,306.75 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
