The Rogue Nation of MSN 75 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.339 billion MSN 75ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 88.3%.
The frighteningly efficient MSN 75ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,689 trillion dollars a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 266,512 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.
Wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, war vets look after war animals, and the government is under the thumb of countless special interests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 75's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.
MSN 75 is ranked 50,114th in the world and 532nd in NationStates for Most Stationary, with 902.01732548632 days.
