The Rogue Nation of MSN 64 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.548 billion MSN 64ians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. The average income tax rate is 62.3%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 64ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,579 trillion pounds 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, Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. 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 241,195 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, foreign leaders are advising that Highlander's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, and endangered species are effective hostages against the MSN 64ian military. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 64's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN 64 is ranked 284,527th in the world and 635th in NationStates for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 16.98 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
