The Republic of NAS90 is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.541 billion NAS90ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 26.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The NAS90ian economy, worth 173 trillion Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,995 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, students do more community service than homework, families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, and birth rates have hit an all-time low. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NAS90's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

NAS90 is ranked 111,997^th in the world and 1^st in The Ninth Army for Fattest Citizens, with 10.87 Obesity Rate.
