The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 54 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.177 billion NSC Puppet 54ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 54ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,093 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 177,009 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

An underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to NSC Puppet 54 as a reminder of their "special relationship", home renovation shows are increasingly popular, and new government leaflets tell coeliac children to eat more crisps. 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 54's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NSC Puppet 54 is ranked 86,144^th in the world and 805^th in Two for Largest Populations, with 6.18 billion capita.
