The Republic of Card Puppet 3 is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 12.534 billion Card Puppet 3ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Card Puppet 3ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,143 trillion bells 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. 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 amazing 250,812 bells, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, cities in Card Puppet 3 declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, and ambulances aren't allowed to overtake hearses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card Puppet 3's national animal is the racoon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Card Puppet 3 is ranked 102,029^th in the world and 151^st in 10000 Islands for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 43,139.75 Standard Monetary Units.
