The Puppet of Landoffunpuppet8 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Puppetman with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 3.86 billion Landoffunpuppet8ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Puppet. The average income tax rate is 81.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Landoffunpuppet8ian economy, worth 509 trillion Puppets a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 131,934 Puppets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Puppet Times is sold out, students do more community service than homework, and strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Landoffunpuppet8's national animal is the Puppets, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Puppetreligion.

Landoffunpuppet8 is ranked 48,975th in the world and 184th in The Funian Puppet Region for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
