The Rogue Nation of MSN 22 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.368 billion MSN 22ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.2%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 22ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,651 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 283,046 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 858,118 per year while the poor average 72,600, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.

Prison is a nightmare, chicken farmers must rise before the sun every day to gag their cockerels, the government spends millions of pounds every year prosecuting spammers, and the nation is infamous for its mass graves of discarded robots. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 22's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN 22 is ranked 277,493rd in the world and 610th in NationStates for Most Primitive, scoring -304.48 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
