The Free Land of NSIA-1 is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, soft-spoken computers, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, devout population of 21.768 billion NSIA-1ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Education and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 35.1%.

The strong NSIA-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,637 trillion $$s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 75,246 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Many politicians are serving jail time for minor drug offenses, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism, and retiring citizens are dragged away in the middle of the night by mysterious men in black suits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. NSIA-1's national animal is the Death's-head Hawkmoth, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NSIA-1 is ranked 305,038^th in the world and 1^st in NSIA for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 23.71 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
