The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 18 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.729 billion NSC Puppet 18ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 18ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,640 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 212,203 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Charities reserve the right to not help those who go against religious teachings, the nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells, nothing is more offensive than being inoffensive, and recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable. 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 18's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSC Puppet 18 is ranked 61,066^th in the world and 1,147^th in Two for Most Conservative, scoring 74.92 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
