“I have too many puppets”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 168 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.189 billion NSC Puppet 168ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 89.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 168ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,210 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 195,559 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, consumers are free to choose - so long as they choose Eckie-Ecola or Eckie-Cola, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, and there's never a spare chair in the retirement home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC Puppet 168's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSC Puppet 168 is ranked 117,449^th in the world and 2,497^th in Two for Most Patriotic, with 13.53 flags saluted per person per day.
