The Republic of Energized Puppet 72 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its daily referendums, infamous sell-swords, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.685 billion Energized Puppet 72ians 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 government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.7%.

The all-consuming Energized Puppet 72ian economy, worth 445 trillion NRGS 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 120,838 NRGS, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Energized Puppet 72 has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity, and male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Energized Puppet 72's national animal is the NRG DRINK, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Energized Puppet 72 is ranked 32,918^th in the world and 1,739^th in Lazarus for Most Conservative, scoring 80.33 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
