The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 134 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.172 billion NSC Puppet 134ians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 134ian economy, worth 970 trillion cards a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 157,172 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The Great NSC Puppet 134ian Desert is reputedly the most uninhabitable place in the region, NSC Puppet 134ian TV is considered cruel and unusual punishment in other countries, millions of cards have been thrown into a project to find the cure for Mad Legendary Disease, and an enormous health awareness programme is underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC Puppet 134's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSC Puppet 134 is ranked 240,438th in the world and 2,040th in Two for Safest, scoring 17.75 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
