The Rogue Nation of MSN43 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Kortej with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.983 billion MSN43ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Golgothaj. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.7%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN43ian economy, worth 464 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,600 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Young adults still believe that dolphins deliver newborns to expecting parents, old fossils give the tours at the parliamentary museum, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, and people say chess victor Kortej can kill you with mind-bullets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN43's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN43 is ranked 32,296th in the world and 416th in the Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,420.58 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
