The Rogue Nation of MSN 99 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.556 billion MSN 99ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. The average income tax rate is 68.4%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 99ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,706 trillion dollars 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, 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 260,335 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Troops are either deafened by gunfire or a hysterical voice screaming the Party manifesto, they who do not work shall not eat, the sun now sets on the MSN 99ian Empire, and government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 99'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 99 is ranked 284,936th in the world and 731st in NationStates for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 14.76 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
