The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 117 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, strictly enforced bedtime, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.085 billion NSC Puppet 117ians 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, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.4%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 117ian economy, worth 875 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 143,948 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 470,527 per year while the poor average 33,102, a ratio of 14.2 to 1.

The national defense strategy is a little floppy, kids building model rockets in their backyard are grounded by Space Agency Rangers, social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. 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 117's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSC Puppet 117 is ranked 14,050^th in the world and 585^th in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.24 law-abiding acts per hour.
