The Colony of Yuyu Puppet 4 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.312 billion Yuyu Puppet 4ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 52.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Yuyu Puppet 4ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,386 trillion Yuyu coins a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 166,843 Yuyu coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens who leave the nation for work are instantly charged with treason, among slaves 'bastard' is an honorific rather than an insult, women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft, and ill and injured visitors in Yuyu Puppet 4 have to walk it off until they return home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yuyu Puppet 4's national animal is the Yuyu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Yuyu Puppet 4 is ranked 222,627th in the world and 63rd in Willow Farm for Most Primitive, scoring -98.94 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
