The Empire of Puppet State 363 is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.315 billion Puppet State 363ians 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The strong Puppet State 363ian economy, worth 233 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 54,059 francs, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Puppet State 363's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Puppet State 363 is ranked 274,488^th in the world and 70^th in Silly for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 9.49 Effective Tax Rate.
