The Rogue Nation of MSN56 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.989 billion MSN56ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krestej. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient MSN56ian economy, worth 525 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 175,797 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens tint their front windows to avoid starring in the 'TV Detector Patrol Unit' documentary, unemployed mercenaries drift the country looking for new careers, throwing a sickie is a serious crime, and the immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN56's national animal is the giraffe, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.
MSN56 is ranked 197,646th in the world and 3,566th in Artificial Solar System for Safest, scoring 43.11 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
