The Colony of Yuyu Puppet 42

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Colony of Yuyu Puppet 42 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.336 billion Yuyu Puppet 42ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 64.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yuyu Puppet 42ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,739 trillion Yuyu coins 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 amazing 208,629 Yuyu coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

A bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, and mechanics are often exhausted by their work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yuyu Puppet 42's national animal is the Yuyu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Yuyu Puppet 42 is ranked 6,392^nd in the world and 4^th in Willow Farm for Most Corrupt Governments, with 197.26 kickbacks per hour.
