NSC Puppet 189

The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 189 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, aversion to nipples, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.094 billion NSC Puppet 189ians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 92.8%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 189ian economy, worth 999 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 163,985 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, squatters are reclaiming abandoned igloos, and censors protect the public from lewd images of Bigtopians in duffel coats. 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 189's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NSC Puppet 189 is ranked 18,896th in the world and 1,247th in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
