The Incorporated States of NSC Puppet 212 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, infamous sell-swords, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.999 billion NSC Puppet 212ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.5%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC Puppet 212ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,071 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 178,649 cards, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

There's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, popular websites like NationStates are blocked for "national security", and the nation sends criminals home to think about what they did. 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 212's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSC Puppet 212 is ranked 103,031st in the world and 1,653rd in Two for Most Stationary, with 413.98621421532 days.
