The Rogue Nation of MSN 30 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, ritual sacrifices, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.526 billion MSN 30ians 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, moralistic, 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 Andrews. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 30ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,482 trillion guilders 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 291,167 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Highlander can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, and exceptionally talented workers are praised more than Revolutionary heroes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 30's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Awakening.

MSN 30 is ranked 58,777th in the world and 398th in NationStates for Largest Populations, with 8.53 billion capita.
