The Punched Puppet of Punching Bag Nation is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Boxer with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, public floggings, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.309 billion Punching Bags 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Big Bag. The average income tax rate is 86.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Punching Bagger economy, worth 145 trillion flats 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, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining. 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 44,007 flats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Imprisonment is the leading cause of disownment, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, and politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Punching Bag Nation's national animal is the blobfish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Violetism.

Punching Bag Nation is ranked 2,286^th in the world and 1^st in Gypsy Lands for Most Authoritarian, with 11,591.73 milliStalins.
