The Rogue Nation of MSN 82 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, disturbing lack of elderly people, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.357 billion MSN 82ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.6%.
The frighteningly efficient MSN 82ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,592 trillion florins 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 250,554 florins, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.
Adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, sex changes are routinely performed at MSN 82's hospitals, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, and government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 82's national animal is the emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.
MSN 82 is ranked 17,659th in the world and 312th in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 91.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
