The Incorporated States of NSC19 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, pith helmet sales, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.035 billion NSC19ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86.9%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC19ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,037 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 171,966 cards, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Seafood restaurants assure customers 'If it lives in the sea, it's on our menu', children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use NSC19 City as a backdrop, and television executives are interested in turning Leader's zany home life into a sitcom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC19's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NSC19 is ranked 2,576^th in the world and 171^st in Two for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 10,327.6 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
