The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 86 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 7.672 billion NSC Puppet 86ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.6%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 86ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,340 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 174,766 cards, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 825,310 per year while the poor average 21,930, a ratio of 37.6 to 1.

Mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, minstrels carrying coconut shells provide sound effects wherever their nobles wander, behind every great person are three dozen other people passing great memos, and the government has pledged that not one drop of its citizens' blood will be spilt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC Puppet 86's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSC Puppet 86 is ranked 52,112^th in the world and 1,550^th in Two for Most Patriotic, with 32.54 flags saluted per person per day.
