The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 10.6%.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Puppet State 337's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
