The Colony of Rubicon Puppet 6 is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9 million Rubicon Puppet 6ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 4.6%.

The strong Rubicon Puppet 6ian economy, worth 600 billion Rubixons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is 66,695 Rubixons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, home renovation shows are increasingly popular, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rubicon Puppet 6's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rubicon Puppet 6 is ranked 121,785^th in the world and 46^th in Corvinia Refounded for Most Cultured, scoring 65 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
