The Rogue Nation of MSN 27 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.452 billion MSN 27ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tlar. The average income tax rate is 66.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 27ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,519 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 266,519 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, and the nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 27's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

MSN 27 is ranked 283,281st in the world and 599th in NationStates for Safest, scoring 3.91 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
