The Rogue Nation of MSN80

“From Many, One”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Rogue Nation of MSN80 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Silvax with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, disturbing lack of elderly people, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.156 billion MSN80ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jozex. The average income tax rate is 49.9%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN80ian economy, worth 894 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 215,298 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, serial killers are the country's biggest import, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, and foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN80's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN80 is ranked 6,056^th in the world and 7^th in Africa for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 107,864.38 Standard Monetary Units.
