The People's Republic of Smugtopia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 316 million Smugtopians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Smugtopian economy, worth 9.77 trillion vouchers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 30,932 vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomacy is a foreign concept to Smugtopians, it is said that a Smugtopian woman's work is never done, diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, and politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Smugtopia's national animal is the fly, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Smugtopia is ranked 271,619th in the world and 15th in The Coalition of Card Buddies for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -9.49 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
