The Republic of NC Mining 2 is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The devout population of 209 million NC Mining 2ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The NC Mining 2ian economy, worth 11.1 trillion Litreses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,905 Litreses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, it is cheaper to die in the wilderness than to survive, the NC Mining 2ian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, and newspapers may not print any negative stories about the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NC Mining 2's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
NC Mining 2 is ranked 42,107th in the world and 4th in Aeterna Regnum for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 771.31 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
