The Republic of PathPuppet4 is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 335 million PathPuppet4ians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 10.1%.

The strong PathPuppet4ian economy, worth 14.9 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 44,521 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, surveillance cameras are banned, and thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. PathPuppet4's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

PathPuppet4 is ranked 191,105^th in the world and 7,186^th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 12.54 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
