The Duds of Simphlistica is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Frahrerion Gregor Gerbilanbo-Brandish with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, compulsory vegetarianism, and clockwork self-driving vehicles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.693 billion Simphlisticans 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Complexopolus. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Simphlistican economy, worth a remarkable 2,669 trillion Phluxes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 123,069 Phluxes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Pop stars who make it big overseas are hailed as economic heroes, "Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death, the rich are once again pinching pennies, and windows in Complexopolus don't have much of a view. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Simphlistica's national animal is the Goat of a Single Horn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Simpletonistic Theo-Poogieism.

Simphlistica is ranked 272,468^th in the world and 14,782^nd in Balder for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -7.92 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
