The Rogue Nation of MSN 0 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.434 billion MSN 0ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mitchell. The average income tax rate is 13.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 0ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,410 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 255,558 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

It is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them, and UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 0's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN 0 is ranked 48,856th in the world and 337th in NationStates for Largest Populations, with 9.43 billion capita.
