Emergency Puppet 6

The Constitutional Monarchy of Emergency Puppet 6 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.185 billion Emergency Puppet 6ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.0%.

The all-consuming Emergency Puppet 6ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,347 trillion Deneroes 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. 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 132,349 Deneroes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 460,354 per year while the poor average 27,728, a ratio of 16.6 to 1.

Crossbow bolts fill the skies if so much as a sparrow flies overhead, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, the tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches, and mothers drive their college-graduate children to work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emergency Puppet 6's national animal is the Scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Emergency Puppet 6 is ranked 86,170th in the world and 243rd in Emergency Puppet for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
