The Republic of NAS54 is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.977 billion NAS54ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.6%.

The very strong NAS54ian economy, worth 232 trillion Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,532 Marks, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet, well-off serial killers write monthly checks to avoid jail time, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, and eating kids as food has been enshrined in law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NAS54's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

NAS54 is ranked 127,268^th in the world and 83^rd in The Ninth Army for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 564.72 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
