The Mobile Puppet Legend of Landoffunpuppet9 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Puppet Town with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.476 billion Landoffunpuppet9ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Township. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Landoffunpuppet9ian economy, worth 884 trillion Legens 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. 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 an impressive 161,470 Legens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere, third world countries are rich in "I Love Township" t-shirts, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Puppet Town is a silly poophead, and the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Landoffunpuppet9's national animal is the Fireworm, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Landoffunpuppet9 is ranked 34,561st in the world and 317th in The Funian Puppet Region for Most Patriotic, with 41.58 flags saluted per person per day.
