The Republic of NAS69 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, lack of airports, and public floggings. The compassionate, devout population of 3.541 billion NAS69ians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.2%.

The strong NAS69ian economy, worth 229 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,773 Marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, Leader's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NAS69's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

NAS69 is ranked 232,746^th in the world and 92^nd in The Ninth Army for Most Developed, scoring 52.56 on the Human Development Index.
