The Republic of Rubicon Puppet is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 649 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 Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Octavia. The average income tax rate is 23.4%.

The thriving Rubiconian economy, worth 44.6 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 68,768 Rubixons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, sick Rubiconians are hair today and gone tomorrow, Rubicon Puppet has designated Octavia as its capital city, and bounty hunters have been dispatched to hunt down rogue bounty hunters. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Rubicon Puppet's national animal is the German Sheperd, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Rubicon Puppet is ranked 116,357^th in the world and 39^th in Sphere of Conservative Republics for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,584.83 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
