The Rogue Nation of MSN 75 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, rampant corporate plagiarism, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.529 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.1%.
The frighteningly efficient MSN 75ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,794 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 274,840 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 804,088 per year while the poor average 74,141, a ratio of 10.8 to 1.
Highlander's military council has been nicknamed 'The Knights of the Rotund Table', a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, tie-dye has been outlawed for being 'too occult', and Moby Dick can only be sold by pornographers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very 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 57,142nd in the world and 210th in NationStates for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,932.78 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
