The Black Hawk of Shock Puppet is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Holor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.838 billion black hawks are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Durmengrad XXVI. The average income tax rate is 53.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish puppet economy, worth 226 trillion regions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 22,985 regions, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shock Puppet recently decided against having a capital city, Holor has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences, and Holor is the self-declared God of all Shock Puppet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shock Puppet's national animal is the black hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.

Shock Puppet is ranked 97,467th in the world and 4th in Cretanja Queendom for Most Stationary, with 453.3386334742 days.
