The Incorporated States of NSC is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and enforced nudity. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.974 billion NSCians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Industry and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.2%.

The NSCian economy, worth 194 trillion cards a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 32,500 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 95,086 per year while the poor average 8,767, a ratio of 10.8 to 1.

Minorities play dumb to get more welfare payments, disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, saying that someone looks a bit pale can be construed as hate speech, and the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. NSC's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NSC is ranked 264,678^th in the world and 10,910^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 42.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
