The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 76 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.157 billion NSC Puppet 76ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 84.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 76ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,184 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 192,343 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

NSC Puppet 76's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
