The Hahahahahaha of Imagine having puppets is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by One with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.883 billion Oneses 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of One. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Imagine having puppetsian economy, worth 525 trillion Ones 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 a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 impressive 135,451 Ones, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 510,998 per year while the poor average 25,008, a ratio of 20.4 to 1.

All government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, the nation forgives those who are big enough to admit they made a mistake, concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas", and romantic sunsets are no longer interrupted by explosions and monstrous roars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imagine having puppets's national animal is the One, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is One.

Imagine having puppets is ranked 268,768th in the world and 497th in The Funian Puppet Region for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.84 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
