The Zero of Landoffunpuppet is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Zero Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, compulsory vegetarianism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.928 billion Landoffunpuppetians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zero City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.9%.
The powerhouse Landoffunpuppetian economy, worth 453 trillion Zero Dollars 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, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, 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 115,370 Zero Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 405,514 per year while the poor average 23,788, a ratio of 17.0 to 1.
Only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, weird or unusual crimes merit cruel and unusual punishments, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, and the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Landoffunpuppet's national animal is the Zero Nothings, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Landoffunpuppet is ranked 280,388th in the world and 603rd in The Funian Puppet Region for Most Beautiful Environments, with 5.58 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
