The Colony of Yuyu Puppet 9 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its lack of airports, ubiquitous missile silos, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.439 billion Yuyu Puppet 9ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Yuyu Puppet 9ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,382 trillion Yuyu coins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 163,856 Yuyu coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
Corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, the government regrets to say that it is forced to make cuts to citizens, the Yuyu Puppet 9 City Women's Prison Choir now has a baritone section, and Yuyu Puppet 9ian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yuyu Puppet 9's national animal is the Yuyu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Yuyu Puppet 9 is ranked 182,081st in the world and 117th in Willow Farm for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 51.23 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
