The Republic of Puppetstan45 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, aversion to nipples, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.834 billion Puppetstan45ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, with Industry, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Education aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 47.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Puppetstan45ian economy, worth 337 trillion dollars 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Retail, Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 an impressive 119,000 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

More money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, standard-issue infantry rifles now have carnations instead of bayonets, the nation is devoted to world peas, and uprooting flowers for religious ceremonies is a felony. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Puppetstan45's national animal is the sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Puppetstan45 is ranked 281,417^th in the world and 58^th in Puppetstan for Safest, scoring 5.02 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
