The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 82 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.044 billion NSC Puppet 82ians 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, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 88.9%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 82ian economy, worth 944 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 156,304 cards, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, citizens have an obligation to remain silent and anything they say may be used against them, economists confusingly list "fusarium rot and leaf blight" as major risk factors for monetary deflation, and private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government. 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 82's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSC Puppet 82 is ranked 19,850^th in the world and 1,373^rd in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
