The Republic of NS Rules is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 16.346 billion NS Rulesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 86.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped NS Rulesian economy, worth 380 trillion ns a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 23,301 ns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NS Rules's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

NS Rules is ranked 186,849^th in the world and 79^th in Red Back Island for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
