The Incorporated States of NSC170 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.772 billion NSC170ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83.4%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC170ian economy, worth 888 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 153,890 cards, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, anyone with a tin cup can stop by the welfare office to have it filled with coins, government policy is dictated by a major religion, and the people's love for Leader is little more than self-preservation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC170's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NSC170 is ranked 96,684th in the world and 1,052nd in Two for Most Stationary, with 463.81051566108 days.
