The Kingdom of Big Hug is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Gabriel do Amaral Valverde with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.088 billion Hugianos are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hugin Valley. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Big Hugian economy, worth 264 trillion Cinzeiro Reais a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,830 Cinzeiro Reais, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 497,166 per year while the poor average 22,014, a ratio of 22.6 to 1.
Justice is available only to those who can afford its price tag, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling, and inheritance tax has recently been abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Big Hug's national animal is the Raposa Azulada, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Amaralismo.
Big Hug is ranked 207,876th in the world and 108th in Kantrias for Most Stationary, with 38.95832228888 days.
