The Incorporated States of NSC91 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.8 billion NSC91ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient NSC91ian economy, worth 770 trillion cards a year, is dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 132,889 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
A mountain of discarded sofas and beds is incinerated every day, corporate executives continue to enjoy generous tax benefits while the public is taxed to the hilt, online terrorists are automatically assigned adverts for cheap balaclavas, and cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC91's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
NSC91 is ranked 96,757th in the world and 1,130th in Two for Most Stationary, with 463.80941149512 days.
