The Republic of Unknown Puppet 25 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its daily referendums, parental licensing program, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.611 billion Unknown Puppet 25ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Unknown Puppet 25ian economy, worth 956 trillion Invisible coins a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 207,337 Invisible coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 669,013 per year while the poor average 48,596, a ratio of 13.8 to 1.
Calling dibs is an unalienable right, national stress about the waning heir-line is causing a rise in alopecia, retiring citizens are dragged away in the middle of the night by mysterious men in black suits, and power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unknown Puppet 25's national animal is the Jellyfish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
