The Incorporated States of NSC27 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.212 billion NSC27ians 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 Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient NSC27ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,310 trillion cards a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 181,712 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Children of nonreligious parents are often barred from school festival events, doctors who mutter "Oh my God" often lose their medical license, few that venture into government archives are ever seen again, and cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NSC27's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NSC27 is ranked 306,813^th in the world and 729^th in Two for Most Secular, with 3.23 Atheism Rate.
