The Incorporated States of NSCO3 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, fear of technology, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.027 billion NSCO3ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.9%.

The frighteningly efficient NSCO3ian economy, worth 868 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 144,170 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 517,621 per year while the poor average 28,770, a ratio of 18.0 to 1.

Rude retail employees are now even ruder homeless panhandlers, unsolved crimes are often pinned on veterans with PTSD, a degree of self-hatred is vital for a future in politics, and forecasts predict rains of loose lead and mortar shells for the next six weeks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSCO3's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NSCO3 is ranked 20,630^th in the world and 1,467^th in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89.23 law-abiding acts per hour.
