The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 187 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.959 billion NSC Puppet 187ians 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, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.5%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 187ian economy, worth 992 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 166,628 cards, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Bigtopian relations have become a minefield, birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire, kitchen patrol is dominated by ten-year-old runts, and the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea. 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 187's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSC Puppet 187 is ranked 103,051st in the world and 1,673rd in Two for Most Stationary, with 413.9861586598 days.
