The Disputed Territories of Not a Makasta Puppet is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Captain Spock with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, disturbing lack of elderly people, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.717 billion Not a Makasta Puppetians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 52.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Not a Makasta Puppetian economy, worth 578 trillion shekels a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,222 shekels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, people are careful to avoid hyperbolising that they'd "rather die" than support Captain Spock, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, and the government seizes the property of the recently deceased. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Not a Makasta Puppet's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Not a Makasta Puppet is ranked 24,180th in the world and 1st in Cursed WFE region for Most Primitive, scoring 76.43 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
