The Rogue Nation of MSN55 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.911 billion MSN55ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gasparj. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient MSN55ian economy, worth 436 trillion francs 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 a large, well-organized 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 impressive 150,024 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
Country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, the government has declared that monochrome cinema is the next big thing, and it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN55's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.
MSN55 is ranked 193,864th in the world and 3,744th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.37 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
