The Republic of Card Puppet 7 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, ubiquitous missile silos, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.848 billion Card Puppet 7ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 65.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Card Puppet 7ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,616 trillion marks 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. 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 236,030 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

For the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings, everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen, and ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card Puppet 7's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Card Puppet 7 is ranked 50,482^nd in the world and 848^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.51 law-abiding acts per hour.
