The Kingdom of Zpuppet4 is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Theodore Glibarik IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 6.383 billion Zpuppet4ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nonasėk. The average income tax rate is 29.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Zpuppet4ian economy, worth 355 trillion Midhens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 55,630 Midhens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

A suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Zpuppet4ian politicians, every week is blindness awareness week, stores employing more than 100 employees are required to be at least twenty miles from any competitor, and schoolchildren are taught to boo and hiss at Theodore Glibarik IV's name. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zpuppet4's national animal is the Msc and its national religion is Violetism.

Zpuppet4 is ranked 248,172nd in the world and 8,977th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 62 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
