The Republic of Energized Puppet 50 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, parental licensing program, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.785 billion Energized Puppet 50ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.4%.

The very strong Energized Puppet 50ian economy, worth 244 trillion NRGS 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 87,759 NRGS, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 270,975 per year while the poor average 21,927, a ratio of 12.4 to 1.

Prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, the standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, and Leader's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Energized Puppet 50's national animal is the NRG DRINK, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Energized Puppet 50 is ranked 42,021^st in the world and 2,560^th in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 50.75 kickbacks per hour.
