The Rogue Nation of MSN 78 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.545 billion MSN 78ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, 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 65.8%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 78ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,406 trillion baht 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, Uranium Mining, 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 214,855 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Basic multiplication is all you need to know to have a child, minorities play dumb to get more welfare payments, shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals, and roaming gangsters have been replaced by roaming drunkards. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 78's national animal is the sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN 78 is ranked 82,109th in the world and 443rd in NationStates for Largest Populations, with 6.54 billion capita.
