The Republic of NAS55 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.968 billion NAS55ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.2%.

The very strong NAS55ian economy, worth 285 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,048 Marks, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.

Voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, and citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over NAS55. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NAS55's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NAS55 is ranked 98,574^th in the world and 35^th in The Ninth Army for Highest Average Incomes, with 72,048.04 Standard Monetary Units.
