The Republic of MSA States is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.845 billion MSAians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ari Amica. The average income tax rate is 32.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong MSA Statesian economy, worth 112 trillion Sufozals a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,713 Sufozals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, the New MSA Statesian Thesaurus lists "love" and "oppress" as synonyms, parents dread their examinations more than their children, and whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of MSA Statesian Embarrassments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSA States's national animal is the Fulvous whistling duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

MSA States is ranked 29,354^th in the world and 938^th in the South Pacific for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 1,216.3 Tourists Per Hour.
