The Do Puppets Faster of Landoffunpuppet2 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Puppets that are leaders with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.802 billion Landoffunpuppet2ians 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 Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Puppets that are cities. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Landoffunpuppet2ian economy, worth 438 trillion Puppets that are dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,207 Puppets that are dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 423,483 per year while the poor average 22,162, a ratio of 19.1 to 1.

The "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away, urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and women no longer need to pepper conversations with incessant references to fictitious husbands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Landoffunpuppet2's national animal is the Puppets that are animals, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Landoffunpuppet2 is ranked 76,672nd in the world and 23rd in The Funian Puppet Region for Most Stationary, with 626.8058141218 days.
