The DaS Puppet State of Idotistanistan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Ux with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.453 billion Idotistanistanians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vertigo. The average income tax rate is 15.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Idotistanistanian economy, worth 550 trillion Rallods a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 123,576 Rallods, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Idotistanistanian Navy, babies are a small but significant export, teddy bear James Dean (aka "the Rebel Without the Claws") helps convince kids that candy cigarettes are cool, and doctors ask for written consent before making eye contact with patients. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Idotistanistan's national animal is the Idotistanistani Mountain Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is No Official Religion.

Idotistanistan is ranked 28,179^th in the world and 1,076^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 82 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
