The Incorporated States of NSC O7 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its closed borders, deadly medical pandemics, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.319 billion NSC O7ians 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 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient NSC O7ian economy, worth 867 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 137,288 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, and whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC O7's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
NSC O7 is ranked 230,222nd in the world and 1,894th in Two for Safest, scoring 20.88 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
