The Dominion of Puppet State 340 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.936 billion Puppet State 340ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.6%.

The very strong Puppet State 340ian economy, worth 178 trillion baht a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 45,227 baht, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the tenet of free speech is held dear, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and calling dibs is an unalienable right. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Puppet State 340's national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Puppet State 340 is ranked 127,189^th in the world and 22^nd in Silly for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 43 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
