The Incorporated States of NSC19 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 7.337 billion NSC19ians 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 Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient NSC19ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,348 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 183,810 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Being Leader has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, and firebombing politicians' offices has become a common way of expressing dissatisfaction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC19's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NSC19 is ranked 27,834^th in the world and 766^th in Two for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,837.71 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
