The Rogue Nation of MSN100 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by CSharpax with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, parental licensing program, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.477 billion MSN100ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hennessy. The average income tax rate is 53.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient MSN100ian economy, worth 904 trillion guilders 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 amazing 202,009 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, the nation forgives those who are big enough to admit they made a mistake, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Eagle Dung" has been declared a national treasure, and museums offer moralization or your money back. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN100's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN100 is ranked 332,557th in the world and 9th in The Heartland for Most Cultured, scoring 29 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
