The Unreadable Wall of Text of Forum Puppet is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Guy LeDouche with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 30.812 billion Forum Puppetians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Forum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Forum Puppetian economy, worth a remarkable 4,145 trillion Forums a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,526 Forums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 491,791 per year while the poor average 26,102, a ratio of 18.8 to 1.

War memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, loan operators are losing interest due to lost interest, soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, and citizens are being told that the greatness of a nation's power is the measure of its surrender. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Forum Puppet's national animal is the Puppet, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Forum Puppet is ranked 299,995th in the world and 4th in Empire of the Sky for Safest, scoring 7.37 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
