The 10000 Islands Emissary State of Puppaffnia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Filip Butopa with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 28.47 billion Puppaffniacs 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skoptopolis. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Puppaffniac economy, worth 654 trillion paffnars 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, broadly diversified black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Soda Sales, 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 22,997 paffnars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gambling is outlawed, all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Skoptopolis, Filip Butopa has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, and Filip Butopa is the self-declared God of all Puppaffnia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Puppaffnia's national animal is the alpaca, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Paffnism.

Puppaffnia is ranked 175,347^th in the world and 1^st in 10KI International Airport for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 119.23 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
