The PS2 Puppet of Askatopia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Executioner with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, fear of technology, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.286 billion Disposables 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Spirituality and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and Education aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Unyielding Cesspit Of Filth. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Disposable economy, worth a remarkable 5,235 trillion Nuclear Bombs 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 Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. 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 amazing 394,098 Nuclear Bombs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sushi is sold on the black market, Harry Potter books are banned, citizens who don't recite the Pledge of Askatopia at least three times a day are placed on a terrorist watch-list, and an alabaster statue of an ancient cat-deity takes pride of place in the centre of The Unyielding Cesspit Of Filth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Askatopia's national animal is the Slug, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.

Askatopia is ranked 181,414^th in the world and 6,604^th in the South Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 14.43 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
