The Incorporated States of NSC216 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.015 billion NSC216ians 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 Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 79.0%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC216ian economy, worth 777 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 129,238 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Young people devote their entire lives to the faith, bizarre-looking creatures called 'legendarydogs' dominate wildlife preserves, the government subsidises medicines of mass destruction, and there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC216's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NSC216 is ranked 234,503^rd in the world and 27^th in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 47.56 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
