The Republic of NAS8 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its daily referendums, disturbing lack of elderly people, and digital currency. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.312 billion NAS8ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 58.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong NAS8ian economy, worth 295 trillion Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,485 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation forgives those who are big enough to admit they made a mistake, retiring citizens are dragged away in the middle of the night by mysterious men in black suits, edgy teens know that illegal discos are where the cool cats hang, and reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NAS8's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NAS8 is ranked 21,278^th in the world and 4^th in The Ninth Army for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6,380.6 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
