The Hand Puppet of Beelzenef is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Nekozawa with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.654 billion Beelzenefians 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 minute, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Administration, with Industry, Environment, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Education and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ouran. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Beelzenefian economy, worth a remarkable 4,810 trillion curse dolls 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. 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 328,280 curse dolls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Schoolchildren are divided over Nekozawa's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, the most common answers to where babies come from are "uh... ask your mother" and "um... ask your father", and every conceivable scenic location has been completely booked by couples desperate to marry. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Beelzenef's national animal is the cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Dark Magic.

Beelzenef is ranked 537th in the world and 1st in Strawberry Hill for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 328,280.23 Standard Monetary Units.
