The Incorporated States of NSC154 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 7.498 billion NSC154ians 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.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86.9%.

The frighteningly efficient NSC154ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,318 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 175,810 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 578,445 per year while the poor average 40,040, a ratio of 14.4 to 1.

Factory workers offered 20-hour shifts are expected to thank their bosses for the wonderful opportunity, grannies get pulled over for knitting pullovers while driving, descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true, and nothing is more offensive than being inoffensive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC154's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NSC154 is ranked 13,437^th in the world and 1,468^th in Two for Largest Governments, scoring 33.81 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
