The Rogue Nation of MSN98 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Pulinox with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.857 billion MSN98ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Codienex. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.3%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN98ian economy, worth 746 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,445 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, and truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN98's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN98 is ranked 187,595^th in the world and 2^nd in Silverhold for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 178.36 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
