The Colony of Yuyu Puppet 95 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, parental licensing program, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.216 billion Yuyu Puppet 95ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 78.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yuyu Puppet 95ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,551 trillion Yuyu coins 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, Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. 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 188,895 Yuyu coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence, student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned Yuyuball fields, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, and tie-dye has been outlawed for being 'too occult'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yuyu Puppet 95's national animal is the Yuyu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Yuyu Puppet 95 is ranked 31,431st in the world and 39th in Willow Farm for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
