The Colony of Yuyu Puppet 59 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, disturbing lack of elderly people, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.127 billion Yuyu Puppet 59ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yuyu Puppet 59ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,450 trillion Yuyu coins a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 178,447 Yuyu coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Many friends and relatives of Leader have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, professional athletes juggle part-time jobs to avoid bankruptcy, the transit system is throwing poor people under the bus, and the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yuyu Puppet 59's national animal is the Yuyu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Yuyu Puppet 59 is ranked 89,295th in the world and 63rd in Willow Farm for Most Stationary, with 508.82132713192 days.
