The I wonder who it is of Unknown Puppet 4 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its triple-decker prams, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.853 billion Unknown Puppet 4ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Not foundville. The average income tax rate is 56.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Unknown Puppet 4ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,037 trillion Who knows a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 213,689 Who knows, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards, and CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unknown Puppet 4's national animal is the Ghost, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Unknown Puppet 4 is ranked 22,391st in the world and 175th in Nerdlandia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.83 law-abiding acts per hour.
