The Republic of Card Puppet 4 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.596 billion Card Puppet 4ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, with Industry and Defense also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Card Puppet 4ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,514 trillion currencies a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 292,523 currencies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,057,828 per year while the poor average 57,728, a ratio of 18.3 to 1.

Enemy governments seem especially interested in Card Puppet 4's election cycle, people who get diabetes can sue donut manufacturers, diaper ads feature vertically-challenged adults wearing bootees, and parents receive hefty fines for telling kids to eat their vegetables. Crime is all-pervasive. Card Puppet 4's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Card Puppet 4 is ranked 871^st in the world and 20^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 16,987.72 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
