The Rogue Nation of MSN 39 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, parental licensing program, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.515 billion MSN 39ians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. The average income tax rate is 60.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 39ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,137 trillion marks 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, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 250,991 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over MSN 39, cheating spouses are required to undergo job training, six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, and the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 39's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Awakening.

MSN 39 is ranked 283,296th in the world and 607th in NationStates for Safest, scoring 3.87 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
