The Republic of Amperpuppet is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, enslaved workforce, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The devout population of 643 million Amperpuppetians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.7%.

The strong Amperpuppetian economy, worth 40.3 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,631 florins, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done", wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles, thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, and flatulent people are left to die of cancer at the end of hospital waiting lists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amperpuppet's national animal is the dolphin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Amperpuppet is ranked 240,989^th in the world and 21^st in Amperregion for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.1 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
