The Rogue Nation of MSN 16 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.412 billion MSN 16ians 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 Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.4%.
The frighteningly efficient MSN 16ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,625 trillion marks 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 278,931 marks, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.
Scenic beaches are now protected by massive concrete walls, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, there's a bright dawn ahead for MSN 16, and MSN 16ian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 16's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.
MSN 16 is ranked 9,819th in the world and 162nd in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 101.44 law-abiding acts per hour.
