The Republic of Puppetstorm is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its ban on automobiles and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 274 million Puppetstormians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The very strong Puppetstormian economy, worth 13.2 trillion Afriks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 48,011 Afriks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 195,850 per year while the poor average 7,802, a ratio of 25.1 to 1.

Crossbow bolts fill the skies if so much as a sparrow flies overhead, frowning on the job is a great way to get a raise, the average video game can be completed over lunch break, and murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Puppetstorm's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Puppetstorm is ranked 39,277^th in the world and 72^nd in Puppetstorm for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 25.1 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
