The Republic of SSN27 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Daniel O'Connell with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, disturbing lack of elderly people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.88 billion SSN27ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient SSN27ian economy, worth 526 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,951 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nobody likes bad boys any more, all screens are equal but some are more equal than others, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, and oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SSN27's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Celtic Paganism.

SSN27 is ranked 29,916^th in the world and 1^st in Republic of Korea for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 62,020.72 Standard Monetary Units.
