The Republic of Card Puppet 4 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.817 billion Card Puppet 4ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Administration, with Industry and Defense also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Card Puppet 4ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,697 trillion currencies a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 305,904 currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, military barracks resemble five-star hotels, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly. Crime is all-pervasive. Card Puppet 4's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Card Puppet 4 is ranked 5,361st in the world and 253rd in The North Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 9,939.92 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
