The Republic of Puppet-001 is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 114 million Puppets are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Puppet-001 economy, worth 2.67 trillion 000s 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 23,390 000s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence, wars are forgotten but not forgiven, it's not mass murder when the government does it, and any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Puppet-001's national animal is the Ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Puppet-001 is ranked 316,162^nd in the world and 2,293^rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Developed, scoring 46.73 on the Human Development Index.
