The Rogue Nation of MSN29 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.92 billion MSN29ians 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 Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ziwalex. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient MSN29ian economy, worth 504 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 a large, well-organized, 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 impressive 172,857 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The "fire department" is often called to remove offensive religious texts, a newly discovered small mammal's name translates into MSN29ian as 'your finger, you fool', the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN29's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN29 is ranked 132,745th in the world and 3rd in Mechanix Monarchists for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,193.47 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
