The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 163 is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, strictly enforced bedtime, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.078 billion NSC Puppet 163ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.5%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 163ian economy, worth 895 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 147,260 cards, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, royal mothers are increasingly sidelined as news crews strain for interviews and photoshoots with "the hot nanny", young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC Puppet 163's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NSC Puppet 163 is ranked 23,292nd in the world and 1,727th in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.19 law-abiding acts per hour.
