The Eco Friendly NS Nation of The Environment SOS is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate population of 9.618 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 48%. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the mob and the police have recently had numerous clashes in the back alleys of The Environment SOS's cities due to the government's steadfast anti-casino stance, and pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Environment SOS's national animal is the white shark, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the greenwood.

The Environment SOS is ranked 5th in Environment and 77,867th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -16 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
