The Dominion of NKB Puppet Card Holder is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its lack of airports, disturbing lack of elderly people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.236 billion NKB Puppet Card Holderians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.3%.

The powerhouse NKB Puppet Card Holderian economy, worth 490 trillion Cards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 115,774 Cards, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, the recently bereaved have plenty of time to mourn during their incarcerations, cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, and it is written that repentant sinners are most blessed by Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NKB Puppet Card Holder's national animal is the Card Pack, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

NKB Puppet Card Holder is ranked 153,988th in the world and 656th in Island of Hope for Most Primitive, scoring -50.68 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
