The Republic of Mystris Puppet is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and public floggings. The quiet, industrious population of 1.399 billion Mystris Puppetians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 36.4%.

The thriving Mystris Puppetian economy, worth 111 trillion Loios a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,498 Loios, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

"Mad Max: Returning Again to Barrydrome" is this year's unexpected summer blockbuster, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Mystris Puppet City Times is sold out, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, and more than one company makes the board game Monopoly. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mystris Puppet's national animal is the Arctic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mystris Puppet is ranked 66,286^th in the world and 41^st in Puppets of Mystris for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,533.41 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
