The Rogue Nation of MSN 35 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Highlander with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.238 billion MSN 35ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.4%.
The frighteningly efficient MSN 35ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,149 trillion bitcoins a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 260,885 bitcoins, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.
MSN 35ians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, reports of arson have doubled since the introduction of a privatised fire protection service, saying 'no homo' is enough to escape punishment for the crime of being gay, and saying that someone looks a bit pale can be construed as hate speech. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 35's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Awakening.
MSN 35 is ranked 36,307th in the world and 371st in NationStates for Most Stationary, with 1,246.0843761166 days.
