The Republic of Card Puppet 8

“Might Makes Right”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Card Puppet 8 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 6.808 billion Card Puppet 8ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 91.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Card Puppet 8ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,677 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an amazing 246,392 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Funding for education has been redirected into the military, whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, and the immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card Puppet 8's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Card Puppet 8 is ranked 78,933^rd in the world and 18^th in The Bar on the corner of every region for Most Conservative, scoring 71.92 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
