The Incorporated States of NSC209 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, public floggings, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.071 billion NSC209ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 82.6%.
The frighteningly efficient NSC209ian economy, worth 918 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 151,230 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
Ten-year-olds are applying for lemonade stand operator licences, commemorative mugs remembering last year's Black Friday Crockery Riots are a best seller this year, politicians have seen a significant reduction in followers on their social media accounts, and clergy never mention brand names for fear of losing their government subsidies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC209's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
NSC209 is ranked 87,755th in the world and 879th in Two for Largest Populations, with 6.07 billion capita.
