The Republic of SSN14 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Daniel O'Connell with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, enslaved workforce, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.821 billion SSN14ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. The average income tax rate is 32.7%.

The frighteningly efficient SSN14ian economy, worth 548 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 194,311 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Police are trained in using their steel-capped boots as a tool of law enforcement, tea and biscuits have replaced waterboarding and sleep deprivation as the primary tools of interrogation, fine dining is just too fine for most of the populace, and foreign powers often deal with problems that SSN14 can't handle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SSN14's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Celtic Paganism.

SSN14 is ranked 39,471st in the world and 4th in Island of Bobinas United for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,740.61 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
