The Republic of SSN33 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Daniel O'Connell with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, parental licensing program, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.894 billion SSN33ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. The average income tax rate is 56.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient SSN33ian economy, worth 542 trillion rupees 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, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. 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 187,477 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The election for Daniel O'Connell's office's janitor is heating up, SSN33ian tourists are banned from many nations due to their tendency to randomly explode, government officials frown on anything more technologically advanced than an abacus, and convicted crypto-miners are sent to the salt mines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SSN33's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Celtic Paganism.

SSN33 is ranked 123,447th in the world and 2,588th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,002.03 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
