Besides what Fabien answered:

The magnetic moment is fortunately   6 uB, not 0.6.   Each N atom 
contributes obviously 3 electrons.

If I interpret the website correctly, these are r2scan data, not PBE 
anymore ???


Anyway, N in hcp close packed structure ???

In databases you can do everything ....
