The Incorporated States of NSC195 is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, punitive income tax rates, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 5.909 billion NSC195ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient NSC195ian economy, worth 855 trillion cards a year, is dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 144,824 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
There's a lot of smoke from the nation's "green economy", soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued, twice-daily toilet inspection rotas for government buildings are archived for public appraisal, and the hills are alive with the sound of ringtones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC195's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
NSC195 is ranked 13,336th in the world and 512th in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.08 law-abiding acts per hour.
