The Rogue Nation of MSN13 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.874 billion MSN13ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Auznhaiax. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.3%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN13ian economy, worth 458 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 159,676 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, the nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, and many in MSN13 are born in the purple. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN13's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN13 is ranked 4,013th in the world and 7th in Greater Dienstad for Most Armed, with 13.4 weapons per person.
