The Republic of Rubicon Puppet is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 204 million Rubiconians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 25.2%.

The thriving Rubiconian economy, worth 13.0 trillion Rubixons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 63,649 Rubixons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

People are arrested for looking too sternly at whales, scummy-looking teenagers outside government buildings sell bureaucrats spoofed ShortTok accounts, the official Rubiconian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, and the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rubicon Puppet's national animal is the German Sheperd, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Rubicon Puppet is ranked 94,811^th in the world and 6^th in The Chatroom Hotel for Most Developed, scoring 62.26 on the Human Development Index.
