The Republic of Nkbpuppet50 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.707 billion Nkbpuppet50ians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Nkbpuppet50ian economy, worth 874 trillion NKBS 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, Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. 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 153,253 NKBS, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 468,158 per year while the poor average 38,885, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.
Victims of limb-mauling industrial accidents are told to keep working with their remaining hand, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, the nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence, and lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nkbpuppet50's national animal is the nkb, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Nkbpuppet50 is ranked 154,334th in the world and 913th in Island of Hope for Smartest Citizens, with 29.68 quips per hour.
