The Rogue Nation of MSN 86 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Highlander with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.541 billion MSN 86ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. The average income tax rate is 74.1%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 86ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,501 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 229,498 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign countries consider stepping on their grass to be a serious offense, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, the government has cautiously opted to support women's suffrage, and election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 86's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN 86 is ranked 284,680th in the world and 685th in NationStates for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 15.67 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
