The Rogue Nation of BSN28 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Blanca with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.202 billion BSN28ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pamplona. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.8%.

The frighteningly efficient BSN28ian economy, worth 527 trillion coins a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,670 coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 674,477 per year while the poor average 26,580, a ratio of 25.4 to 1.

The BSN28ian Intelligence Agency has put 'Project Quantum Refrigerator' on hold indefinitely, military barracks resemble five-star hotels, acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings, and the housing market has collapsed like an overbaked Brancalandian souffle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BSN28's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agape.

BSN28 is ranked 25,195th in the world and 34th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,402.04 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
