The Incorporated States of NSC168 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, strictly enforced bedtime, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 7.526 billion NSC168ians 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 Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.2%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC168ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,291 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 171,583 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 523,354 per year while the poor average 43,630, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Motorbike jousters live young and die fast, replacement organs are grown in vats, pet owners exercise their legendaries at a snail's pace or risk prosecution, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC168's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSC168 is ranked 14,748^th in the world and 754^th in Two for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,302.47 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
