Compare your nation without NS stats to your nation with NS stats!
Demescia, without NS states, is much smaller with a population of 70 million (compared to NS's supposed 5 billion). We're also fairly lower in taxes (51% > rather than NS's supposed 95% tax rate). Of course, that impacts the funding public services get.
GDP is approximately 2.83 trillion rather than the unbelievable (100< trillion that NationStates says), GDP per capita is about 40,000.
Demescia is fairly technologically advanced, serving as one of the top-runners of the regional roleplay it's in.
