The Rogue Nation of MSN 100 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Highlander with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.329 billion MSN 100ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
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 Andrews. The average income tax rate is 83.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient MSN 100ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,735 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 274,276 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
Highlander reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", no suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines, and foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 100's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.
MSN 100 is ranked 7,674th in the world and 111th in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 106.44 law-abiding acts per hour.
