The Rogue Nation of DSN17 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Dave with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.073 billion DSN17ians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Buenos Aires. The average income tax rate is 45.2%.

The frighteningly efficient DSN17ian economy, worth 479 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 156,064 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, DSN17ian tourists are banned from many nations due to their tendency to randomly explode, and atheists on vacation find Cliodhna's scriptures make useful doorstops. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DSN17's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cliodhna.

DSN17 is ranked 75,010^th in the world and 3^rd in Eastern Europe for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,430.55 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
