The State of Puppet Overkill is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 29.568 billion Puppet Overkillians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 26.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Puppet Overkillian economy, worth a remarkable 1,251 trillion betales a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,338 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Puppet Overkill in an international press conference, behind every great person are three dozen other people passing great memos, and Westminster Preparatory School for the Exceedingly Wealthy's basketball team is having a few off-years. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Puppet Overkill's national animal is the deer.

Puppet Overkill is ranked 142,347^th in the world and 1^st in Bern for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 75.36 on the Hayek Index.
