The Republic of NAS58 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, otherworldly petting zoo, and keen interest in outer space. The cynical population of 3.958 billion NAS58ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.5%.

The strong NAS58ian economy, worth 286 trillion Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,393 Marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 352,869 per year while the poor average 8,553, a ratio of 41.3 to 1.

Strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, tie-dye has been outlawed for being 'too occult', the most sacred right is the right to ignore the rights of slaves, and schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NAS58's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

NAS58 is ranked 52,601^st in the world and 10^th in The Ninth Army for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,650.01 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
