The Incorporated States of NSC78 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, zero percent divorce rate, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.836 billion NSC78ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 79.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient NSC78ian economy, worth 913 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 156,450 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Unemployment is through the roof after the government enacted living wage laws, farmers are complaining that the buzzing and the sparks from the nearby MagRail are blighting their crops, an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse, and commemorative mugs remembering last year's Black Friday Crockery Riots are a best seller this year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC78's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
NSC78 is ranked 96,760th in the world and 1,142nd in Two for Most Stationary, with 463.80923093968 days.
