The Surprise of A Yellow Haired Punk is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.785 billion Punks are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 48.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Punk economy, worth 545 trillion Bills 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 55,716 Bills, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them, people are careful to avoid hyperbolising that they'd "rather die" than support Leader, apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad, and the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Yellow Haired Punk's national animal is the Goldfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

A Yellow Haired Punk is ranked 297,306^th in the world and 2^nd in Zephyra for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -11.34 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
