The Rogue Nation of MSN 51 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.482 billion MSN 51ians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. The average income tax rate is 35.5%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 51ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,446 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 223,117 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, panels from bankrupt rooftop solar companies are used as props for sci-fi B-movies, the colors pink and purple are banned from military unit insignia, and internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered MSN 51ian weed picker are way up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 51's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN 51 is ranked 82,670th in the world and 516th in NationStates for Largest Populations, with 6.48 billion capita.
