The Puppet State of Puppetalia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Gonzo the Great with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The democratic, devout population of 8.556 billion puppets hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Muppet-overtaken-Manhattan. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient puppet economy, worth a remarkable 1,235 trillion cardboard boxes a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 144,405 cardboard boxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The puppet Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, and Gonzo the Great can cry on demand. Crime is well under control. Puppetalia's national animal is the fraggle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Oneness of The Toymaker.

Puppetalia is ranked 146,892nd in the world and 42nd in Libertarian Socialist Confederation for Most Stationary, with 176.69355358272 days.
