The Incorporated States of NSC198 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.777 billion NSC198ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 82.5%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC198ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,010 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 174,905 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, turnstile jumpers grow up to be tax cheats, euthanasia is illegal, and opening a bad email attachment can be a major felony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC198's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NSC198 is ranked 96,655th in the world and 1,024th in Two for Most Stationary, with 463.81090454972 days.
