“Justice For All”

The Republic of Puppet JURISDICTIONS is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.113 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- is effectively ruled by the Department of Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Public Transport receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 41%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Beef-Based Agriculture.

Long arduous trials are held for the most trivial of offences, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, Puppet JURISDICTIONS successfully hosted the Liberty Alliance Olympics, and a government program is underway to revitalize Puppet JURISDICTIONS's beaches. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control. Puppet JURISDICTIONS's national animal is the eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollar.

Puppet JURISDICTIONS is ranked 20th in the region and 21,301st in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
