The Puppet of Landoffunpuppet8 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Puppetman with an even hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, free-roaming dinosaurs, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 3.986 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 529 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 common. Average income is an impressive 132,769 Puppets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, orange is the new black for judicial robes, and voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary. 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 272,642nd in the world and 592nd in The Funian Puppet Region for Safest, scoring 6.96 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
