The Empire of Luadastmaa Puppet Manager is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory vegetarianism, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 443 million Luadastmaa Puppet Managerians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 67.8%.

The powerhouse Luadastmaa Puppet Managerian economy, worth 21.3 trillion Uʹrvvlõstts 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, highly specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. 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 48,048 Uʹrvvlõstts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Piracy is the nation's most popular pastime, residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, young people suspect their parents might be a little bit stupid, and the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luadastmaa Puppet Manager's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Luadastmaa Puppet Manager is ranked 235,957th in the world and 7th in Luadastmaa Puppet Region for Most Extreme, scoring 11.93 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
