The Colony of A Puppet Collector is a small, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 29 million puppets of the hivemind have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 36.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The puppetmaster economy, worth 872 billion nations a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 30,086 nations, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, supermodels maintain their skinny form by running away from government officials, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, and the government only announces the deaths of its members when it's convenient. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Puppet Collector's national animal is the meta-breaker-card-farmer-issue-answerer-, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

A Puppet Collector is ranked 228,878^th in the world and 5,283^rd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 18.44 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
