The Enhanced Sock Being of Hand Puppet is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Shari with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and frequent executions. The compassionate population of 11.098 billion Hand Puppetians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The tiny, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Charlie. The average income tax rate is 9.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Hand Puppetian economy, worth 396 trillion Buttons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,689 Buttons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shari is refusing to make decisions until the Moon is out of Capricorn, daily newspapers are permitted to run only pro-government stories, nobody is forced to join the armed forces, and a new religious movement claims that people's souls are stored in phosphorus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hand Puppet's national animal is the Sock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fluffiness.

Hand Puppet is ranked 271,831^st in the world and 67^th in Eientei Gensokyo for Highest Average Incomes, with 35,689.86 Standard Monetary Units.
