The Incorporated States of NSC44 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.005 billion NSC44ians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient NSC44ian economy, worth 872 trillion cards a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 145,253 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Bad punctuation has come to a full stop, the government prefers to kill off its enemies by peaceful means, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout NSC44 after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, and raver DJ XStacy holds multiple medical degrees in chillaxing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC44's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NSC44 is ranked 88,600^th in the world and 1,043^rd in Two for Largest Populations, with 6.00 billion capita.
