The Incorporated States of NSC6 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.929 billion NSC6ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.1%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC6ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,039 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 175,334 cards, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Costumed characters wearing Maxtopian Grass leaves remind citizens that the government now sells the green stuff, witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, NSC6ians are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, and an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC6's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NSC6 is ranked 21,546th in the world and 1,569th in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.46 law-abiding acts per hour.
