The Republic of NAS82 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, zero percent divorce rate, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.557 billion NAS82ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Social Policy, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 8.0%.

The NAS82ian economy, worth 145 trillion Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,025 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Structures are raised on promises, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on NAS82ian roads, and the urban poor thumbs down the new hitchhiking ban. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. NAS82's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

NAS82 is ranked 119,064^th in the world and 2^nd in The Ninth Army for Fattest Citizens, with 10.61 Obesity Rate.
