The Republic of Charles Puppet 19 is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, soft-spoken computers, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical population of 939 million Charles Puppet 19ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Charles Puppet 19ian economy, worth 91.2 trillion Coins 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, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. 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 97,166 Coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

People who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, and kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charles Puppet 19's national animal is the Animal, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
