The World Traveller of Bowiemoria Puppet is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme Overlord JV with an iron fist, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, rampant corporate plagiarism, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.391 billion Experiments are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of JV City. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The large but stagnant Experimentian economy, worth 646 trillion Jars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Furniture Restoration and Basket Weaving. 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 56,720 Jars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Burning members of the Order of Violet is the nation's favorite pastime, the hills are alive with the smell of burning flesh, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, and mandatory patriotic themes make even the newest movies feel like remakes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Bowiemoria Puppet's national animal is the Finch, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is JVism.

Bowiemoria Puppet is ranked 345,870th in the world and 4,945th in the Rejected Realms for Smartest Citizens, with 0.19 quips per hour.
