The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 17 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.998 billion NSC Puppet 17ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.3%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 17ian economy, worth 957 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 159,687 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 516,924 per year while the poor average 37,251, a ratio of 13.9 to 1.

Regional governors use national law books as toilet paper, armoured pyjamas are in fashion amongst the nation's nobility, all tariffs have been abolished, and skateparks can be found in every city. 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 17's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSC Puppet 17 is ranked 103,242nd in the world and 1,846th in Two for Most Stationary, with 413.9767142214 days.
