The Once and Future Delegate of Budgie Snugglers is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Nakari with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 16.59 billion Budgie Snugglers are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The budgie-smuggling economy, worth 868 trillion snuggles 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Furniture Restoration, Soda Sales, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 52,343 snuggles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pedants defending Nakari observe that psychopaths and sociopaths aren't exactly the same thing, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, ministers browse Alright! magazine for fashion tips, and Nakari is plotting to coup the Pacific (Budgie Snugglers has found 1 easter egg). Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Budgie Snugglers's national animal is the budgie, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Budgie Snugglers is ranked 275,299th in the world and 2,179th in the Rejected Realms for Fattest Citizens, with 6.43 Obesity Rate.
