The Republic of Card Puppet 4 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, prohibition of alcohol, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.244 billion Card Puppet 4ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, although Industry is also considered important. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Card Puppet 4ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,945 trillion currencies 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, Pizza Delivery, 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 268,625 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Flags are commonly used as bonfire kindling, claiming that "my cousin said it was legal" is a common courtroom defense, people can get away with murder these days, and pollsters are out of a job as elections have been cancelled. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Card Puppet 4's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Card Puppet 4 is ranked 294,045^th in the world and 6,430^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 2.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
