The Great Nation of NBCLand is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by David Sarnoff with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 9.2 billion NBCLandians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Airstrip Two. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient NBCLandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,030 trillion Eurodollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 220,746 Eurodollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, universities spend millions removing ivy from their walls to avoid accusations of elitism, young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, and dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NBCLand's national animal is the Corporate Wage Slave, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NBCLand is ranked 199,375th in the world and 2nd in Omck for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 11.93 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
