The Republic of Charles Puppet 35 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and lack of airports. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.047 billion Charles Puppet 35ians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.2%.

The all-consuming Charles Puppet 35ian economy, worth 105 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 100,370 Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, some are born loving old plays and some have old plays thrust upon them, and Calvinball players are lost for days as they wander the vast halls of their new academies. 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 35's national animal is the Animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Charles Puppet 35 is ranked 45,135^th in the world and 25^th in Charleslandia for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 69.24 Effective Tax Rate.
