The Republic of Name Digit is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.331 billion puppets enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.

The very strong puppet economy, worth 230 trillion rubledollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 53,183 rubledollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 275,812 per year while the poor average 5,556, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

Citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, the tenet of free speech is held dear, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and pet owners want to know why their animals keep smiling at them. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Name Digit's national animal is the puppet, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Name Digit is ranked 143,332^nd in the world and 1^st in Valley of the shadows for Most Developed, scoring 56.6 on the Human Development Index.
