The Disturbing Endless Playtime of Puppets and Strings is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Hand with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, prohibition of alcohol, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.029 billion Puppets 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Toy Box. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The Strung economy, worth 445 trillion Snapped Bloodied Wires 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing. 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 110,534 Snapped Bloodied Wires, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

A nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, citizens can freely debate whether The Hand is a great leader or the greatest leader, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and the government invades its allies more than its enemies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Puppets and Strings's national animal is the Ventriloquist Screaming Oozing Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Binding Strings.

Puppets and Strings is ranked 282,309^th in the world and 6^th in The Free Region for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 5,416.18 Standard Monetary Units.
