The Most Serene Republic of Rupert the Puppy is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by An Enormous Sentient Fried Egg with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 28.026 billion Rupert the Puppyians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taco Party City. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The enormous but inefficient Rupert the Puppyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,831 trillion Bukkits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,350 Bukkits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", tourists are forbidden to enter Native Rupert the Puppyian lands, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with An Enormous Sentient Fried Egg, and ancestry test results arrive bundled with patent applications. Crime is totally unknown. Rupert the Puppy's national animal is the Majestic Ponycorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Rupert the Puppy is ranked 30,267th in the world and 312th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 1,340.29568387688 days.
