The Rogue Nation of MSN 37 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and notable for its daily referendums, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.518 billion MSN 37ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. The average income tax rate is 67.1%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 37ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,147 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. 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 252,141 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Returning tourists and businessmen are detained without trial if they belong to the "wrong" religion, military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, and it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 37's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Awakening.

MSN 37 is ranked 58,908th in the world and 400th in NationStates for Largest Populations, with 8.52 billion capita.
