The Republic of NC Mining 4 is a tiny, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The democratic, devout population of 10 million NC Mining 4ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 18.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The NC Mining 4ian economy, worth 499 billion Litres a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,935 Litres, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Euthanasia is legal, the nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence, one does not simply walk into the tundra, and corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NC Mining 4's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
