The Incorporated States of NSC39 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, ritual sacrifices, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.912 billion NSC39ians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 92.1%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC39ian economy, worth 716 trillion cards a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 121,221 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation operates a "finders-keepers" policy with other nations' citizens, social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, and the education system has gotten a recent boost in spending. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC39's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NSC39 is ranked 15,952nd in the world and 831st in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
