Yuyu Puppet 17

CurrencyYuyu coin
AnimalYuyu

The Colony of Yuyu Puppet 17 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.171 billion Yuyu Puppet 17ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Yuyu Puppet 17ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,265 trillion Yuyu coins a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 154,846 Yuyu coins, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction, heavily-laden pregnant women are told they can manage, and students are explicitly allowed to write answers on their forearms before exams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yuyu Puppet 17's national animal is the Yuyu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Yuyu Puppet 17 is ranked 89,254th in the world and 21st in Willow Farm for Most Stationary, with 508.82674379512 days.
