The frighteningly efficient Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinderian economy, worth 665 trillion Cards a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,948 Cards, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder's national animal is the Kuriboh, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
