The Republic of Unique Puppet Name is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 5.012 billion Unique Puppet Names 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 54.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Unique economy, worth 507 trillion Duckcoins 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. 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 101,225 Duckcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to liberate slaves, counselors diagnose their clients with motherboard complexes, frustrated women are overjoyed at the provision of communal washing machines, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unique Puppet Name's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Unique Puppet Name is ranked 69,907th in the world and 366th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 15,504.02 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
