The Rogue Nation of MSN92 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Highlander with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 2.885 billion MSN92ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

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 Danubiax. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient MSN92ian economy, worth 472 trillion guilders 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, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 163,896 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Wrongful arrests abound as 'criminals' blame the guy next to them, Highlander's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, Highlander tells rebellious ministers to "drop and give me twenty", and citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN92's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN92 is ranked 265,740th in the world and 5,157th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 0.69 average smiles per day.
