The Republic of NAS72 is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, zero percent divorce rate, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.636 billion NAS72ians 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 Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.9%.

The strong NAS72ian economy, worth 231 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,612 Marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 239,417 per year while the poor average 11,788, a ratio of 20.3 to 1.

Prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, masterpieces by male artists are on display in the dumpsters behind the gallery, men are enrolling into lady etiquette courses, and the main interest rates change daily based on the latest news story. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NAS72's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

NAS72 is ranked 268,789^th in the world and 72^nd in The Ninth Army for Nicest Citizens, with 6.84 average smiles per day.
