The Republic of Puppetstan75 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its daily referendums, triple-decker prams, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.67 billion Puppetstan75ians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Puppetstan75ian economy, worth 338 trillion rubles 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, quite specialized black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. 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 126,805 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

New legislators take a week-long class entitled "Keeping Your Job: How to Avoid Offending Leader", veterans are directed into environmental cleanup operations, it is illegal to have the wrong clock time showing on your microwave oven, and official maps have to be revised on a weekly basis. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Puppetstan75's national animal is the giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Puppetstan75 is ranked 279,480^th in the world and 53^rd in Puppetstan for Most Beautiful Environments, with 6.06 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
