The Queendom of Puppet State 317 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.874 billion Puppet State 317ians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.6%.

The strong Puppet State 317ian economy, worth 195 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. Average income is 50,291 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, a PhD just ain't what it used to be, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Puppet State 317's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Puppet State 317 is ranked 89,738^th in the world and 54^th in Silly for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.59 percentage of bribes refused.
