The Republic of Zpuppet3 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by $ with an even hand, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The quiet, industrious population of 8.532 billion Zpuppet3ians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 43.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Zpuppet3ian economy, worth 385 trillion currencdks a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,156 currencdks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, the breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Zpuppet3, and a video of $ wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zpuppet3's national animal is the animalfkdj, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zpuppet3 is ranked 127,516^th in the world and 1^st in the richest region for Most Primitive, scoring -40.12 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
