The Incorporated States of NSC159 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.838 billion NSC159ians 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 Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.6%.
The frighteningly efficient NSC159ian economy, worth 989 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 169,541 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 482,650 per year while the poor average 47,516, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.
Concert pianists lie about their occupation to avoid ridicule, dessert dishes make up the NSC159ian breakfast menu, a shipwreck is everyone's fault but the captain's, and declaring that "some kids are just born evil" is not endearing Leader to progressive thinkers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC159's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
NSC159 is ranked 96,695th in the world and 1,063rd in Two for Most Stationary, with 463.8103628834 days.
