The Republic of NAS61 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and ban on automobiles. The devout population of 3.746 billion NAS61ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 33.4%.
The strong NAS61ian economy, worth 215 trillion Marks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,576 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers, 13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, and scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Eagle. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NAS61's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
NAS61 is ranked 24,036th in the world and 5th in The Ninth Army for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6,116.62 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
