The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 19 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its closed borders, aversion to nipples, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.091 billion NSC Puppet 19ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 75.6%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 19ian economy, worth 938 trillion cards a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 154,072 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

The Snapgram channel "Embarrassing Baby Leader Pics" has made Leader's mom a celebrity, cat memes without alt text are now illegal, the WhoTube comments section has gone strangely quiet, and travel bureaus double as recruiting centers for national intelligence agencies. 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 19's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSC Puppet 19 is ranked 27,633rd in the world and 1,984th in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
