The Incorporated States of NSC106 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.233 billion NSC106ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient NSC106ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,157 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 160,052 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Heartbroken parents are urged to "smile for the camera", people who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns, foreign policy is based upon the principle of sieve and take, and news headlines usually include p-values. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC106's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSC106 is ranked 283,613^th in the world and 2,365^th in Two for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 12,324.06 Standard Monetary Units.
