The Rogue Nation of MSN 59 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, avant-garde cinema, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.516 billion MSN 59ians 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 Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. The average income tax rate is 67.3%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 59ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,497 trillion rubles 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, Information Technology, 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 229,818 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Highlander's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, and the nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 59's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN 59 is ranked 82,371st in the world and 482nd in NationStates for Largest Populations, with 6.52 billion capita.
