The San Gabriel Valley CDP of Puente Hills is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Violeta Lewis with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.237 billion Puenteans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Administration, with Defense, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 15900 Main St La Puente. The average income tax rate is 28.6%.

The very strong Puente Hills economy, worth 509 trillion US Dollars a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,803 US Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Countless government officials are accused of espionage, there's a lot of babies crying for milk in the middle of the day, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, and CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options. Crime is a serious problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Puente Hills's national animal is the 3 000, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Los Angeles County.

Puente Hills is ranked 91,735^th in the world and 27^th in The Cities of Southern California for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,700.81 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
