The Republic of RolessPuppet293 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 3.343 billion RolessPuppet293ians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The very strong RolessPuppet293ian economy, worth 173 trillion marks a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 52,007 marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 196,572 per year while the poor average 9,573, a ratio of 20.5 to 1.

Crime is a problem. RolessPuppet293's national animal is the crocodile, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

RolessPuppet293 is ranked 209,246^th in the world and 349^th in Roless Puppet Region for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 836.37 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
