The Social Republic of PUTAT is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by President Joyce with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.403 billion obedient citizens 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.6%.

The frighteningly efficient local economy, worth a remarkable 1,458 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 197,044 rubles, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 825,612 per year while the poor average 30,607, a ratio of 27.0 to 1.

PUTAT City River is now popularly called "Dead Fish Run", babysitters are a thing of the past, cash-strapped obedient citizens scour their bodies for fortuitous zits, and there is no rest for the widowed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PUTAT's national animal is the pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

PUTAT is ranked 50,223^rd in the world and 1^st in Bahasa Indonesia for Longest Average Lifespans, with 83.76 years.
