The Republic of Zpuppet10 is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 6.382 billion Denonyms are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kapetansi. The average income tax rate is 56.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Zpuppet10ian economy, worth 51.5 trillion Currencies 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 8,063 Currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, torture is illegal, young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, and cases of disease among the civilian population dwindle as civilian population dwindles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zpuppet10's national animal is the Animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zpuppet10 is ranked 261,299th in the world and 10,654th in Lazarus for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 398.07 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
