The Incorporated States of NSCO1 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.969 billion NSCO1ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 75.6%.

The frighteningly efficient NSCO1ian economy, worth 762 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 127,811 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Summer science camps are regularly raided by narcotics police, the government prefers to kill off its enemies by peaceful means, equality looks curiously unequal, and vacationing hippies and old ladies are regularly arrested for bringing back contraband basketry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSCO1's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NSCO1 is ranked 31,693^rd in the world and 2,132^nd in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.75 law-abiding acts per hour.
