The Rogue Nation of MSN95 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.93 billion MSN95ians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zaztenx. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.4%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN95ian economy, worth 522 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 178,280 baht, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 651,745 per year while the poor average 34,591, a ratio of 18.8 to 1.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, death row inmates cower in fear at the phrase "one-year anniversary", it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, and understaffed slavers offer highballs when asked to 'pass the screwdriver' during household maintenance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN95's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN95 is ranked 24,662nd in the world and 817th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,182.27 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
