The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 178 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.967 billion NSC Puppet 178ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 91.0%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 178ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,070 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 179,460 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Fighter pilots crash out of the air after failing to understand their foreign instruction manuals, aeroplane cockpits no longer have altimeters or airspeed indicators, a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, and party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC Puppet 178's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSC Puppet 178 is ranked 103,077th in the world and 1,686th in Two for Most Stationary, with 413.9861239376 days.
