The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 74 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, disturbing lack of elderly people, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.414 billion NSC Puppet 74ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.8%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 74ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,355 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 182,859 cards, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Everyone suspects that everyone else is a terrorist, children have only the most basic of education, foreign leaders never seem to want to shake hands with Leader, and the deaf are perplexed when the weather report tells them that the wind will be "bringing some rain along the Nazi ghosts". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC Puppet 74's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSC Puppet 74 is ranked 83,457^th in the world and 104^th in Two for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 3,567.51 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
