The Hay-Stuffed Puppetian economy, worth 28.8 trillion minihayfields a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 47,301 minihayfields, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Hay-Stuffed Puppet's national animal is the F7thing, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
