The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.938 billion NSC57ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 51.6%.
The frighteningly efficient NSC57ian economy, worth 679 trillion cards a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports.

Young people devote their entire lives to the faith, the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, octogenarian models insist that they've still got it, and creating cardboard imitations of missiles is a new top-secret military project. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC57's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
