Of course, this region seems like any other, except for one thing: all 2,829 of its residents are puppets. Ironically, the region ranks in the top ten population wise, and has a ranking of "high" regional power. Puppet usage is commonplace throughout the site, but should it be banned? Or should the moderators just limit the number of nations may have?
So NS, what do you think?

They should create a database to track all of them. I support the idea of NationStates having its own NSA.

I don't. And I say that as both a serious response to the first sentence and as a joke about the second. Creating a puppet database would be an immense waste of time, since in the past 2 pages of debate we have yet to hear an actual reason that puppets need to monitored. If a player isn't breaking site rules, moderation has no reason to care which nations are his/her puppets. If they are breaking site rules, it would be reported, and moderation would just do what they normally do. Having a database offers no advantage to the moderation team's effectiveness.

You could be in charge of the NS-NSA lol. Think about it, it would be cool.

I don't support banning puppets. I like the idea of a database for more organization and efficiency.
Problem is, Max doesn't spend enough money on NS to make it even better than it is.
