The Rogue Nation of DSN5 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dave with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.146 billion DSN5ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Buenos Aires. The average income tax rate is 50.7%.

The frighteningly efficient DSN5ian economy, worth 502 trillion dollars a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 159,731 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The vow 'til death do us part' is often taken as an invitation to murder, suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps, parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling, and metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DSN5's national animal is the swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cliodhna.

DSN5 is ranked 222,071st in the world and 164th in Refugia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -2.45 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
