The Rogue Nation of MSN 60 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Highlander with an even hand, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.513 billion MSN 60ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt 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 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 60ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,449 trillion lire a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 222,483 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, and citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over MSN 60. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 60's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN 60 is ranked 82,409th in the world and 484th in NationStates for Largest Populations, with 6.51 billion capita.
