The Incorporated States of NSC109 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.796 billion NSC109ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient NSC109ian economy, worth 873 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 150,693 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making NSC109ians any less frightened, the banshee wail foretells skies of death, psychological disorders are a taboo subject, and people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC109's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSC109 is ranked 96,740th in the world and 1,113th in Two for Most Stationary, with 463.8096684394 days.
