The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 205 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its closed borders, public floggings, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.605 billion NSC Puppet 205ians 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 Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 205ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,246 trillion cards a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 163,882 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most academic research has ground to a halt, politicians literally speak literally, military spending recently hit a new high, and citizens finish cleaning up after the annual National Treasure Hunt just in time for the next one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC Puppet 205's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSC Puppet 205 is ranked 89,166th in the world and 2,484th in Two for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,136.05 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
