The Royal Rumble of Turpir Hoes is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Madame Piggy with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and astonishingly minimal parenting. The hard-nosed population of 4.305 billion Muppets are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of an old dusty theatre. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Puppetted economy, worth 621 trillion shmutzes 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 black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. 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 144,349 shmutzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, citizens select which government department gets their income tax shmutzes each year, the fines for getting caught with the wrong recipe book can force Muppets into bankruptcy, and children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Turpir Hoes's national animal is the Jim Henson, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kermie.

Turpir Hoes is ranked 175,474th in the world and 98th in Ridgefield for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 47.44 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
