The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 159 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.118 billion NSC Puppet 159ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 90.9%.
The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 159ian economy, worth 895 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,409 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.
Mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of legendaries and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, savvy nightclub-goers know that structurally unsound venues sell the cheapest drinks, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, and people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC Puppet 159's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
NSC Puppet 159 is ranked 18,503rd in the world and 945th in Two for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,364.04 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
