The Empire of Sentient Puppets is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.066 billion Sentient Puppetsians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.8%.

The very strong Sentient Puppetsian economy, worth 386 trillion banks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 54,675 banks, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and blind dates tend to result in bruised shins. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sentient Puppets's national animal is the puppet, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sentient Puppets is ranked 296,383^rd in the world and 12,240^th in Balder for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -7.87 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
