The Republic of Nsns18 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.746 billion Nsns18ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Nsns18ian economy, worth 342 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 124,647 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 352,844 per year while the poor average 35,209, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

The nation operates a "finders-keepers" policy with other nations' citizens, referenda are held for every conceivable government action, the government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens, and getting an infected tattoo is considered a rite of passage in Nsns18. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nsns18's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nsns18 is ranked 280,352^nd in the world and 6,903^rd in the Rejected Realms for Nicest Citizens, with 0.37 average smiles per day.
