The Community of Pufferfish is a mammoth, genial nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, soft-spoken computers, and frequent executions. The compassionate population of 8.597 billion Pufferfishians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 17.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Pufferfishian economy, worth 620 trillion pounds 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 72,233 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Treason is relative, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, and Pufferfish has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pufferfish's national animal is the Pufferfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pufferfish is ranked 99,683^rd in the world and 9^th in Safari for Highest Average Incomes, with 72,233.68 Standard Monetary Units.
