The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 151 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its closed borders, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.187 billion NSC Puppet 151ians 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 Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 87.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 151ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,094 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 176,876 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Corporate executives continue to enjoy generous tax benefits while the public is taxed to the hilt, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, the installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, and teddy bear James Dean (aka "the Rebel Without the Claws") helps convince kids that candy cigarettes are cool. 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 151's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSC Puppet 151 is ranked 278,564th in the world and 2,253rd in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 31.25 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
