The Incorporated States of NSC222 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, unlimited-speed roads, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.902 billion NSC222ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 90.4%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC222ian economy, worth 828 trillion cards a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 140,299 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

There's a lot of babies crying for milk in the middle of the day, bread-gangs raid restaurant waste bins to stockpile uneaten rolls, the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare, and election debates consists mostly of two grey suits arguing over how to best preserve the status quo. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC222's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSC222 is ranked 20,249^th in the world and 1,420^th in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89.51 law-abiding acts per hour.
