The Protectorate of Rubicon Puppet 3 is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 345 million Rubicon Puppet 3ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Spirituality also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.

The strong Rubicon Puppet 3ian economy, worth 21.2 trillion Rubixons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is 61,443 Rubixons, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, one complaint of Rubicon Puppet 3's new periodic table is it's easy to confuse fearlessleaderium with gloriousleaderium, agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government, and nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Rubicon Puppet 3's national animal is the German Sheperd, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Rubicon Puppet 3 is ranked 126,669^th in the world and 23^rd in The Embassy for Highest Average Incomes, with 61,443.66 Standard Monetary Units.
