The Republic of Charles Puppet 28 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.052 billion Charles Puppet 28ians 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 powerhouse Charles Puppet 28ian economy, worth 94.2 trillion Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal.

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 89,564 Coins, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charles Puppet 28's national animal is the Animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
