The Rogue Nation of MSN 24 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, frequent executions, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.479 billion MSN 24ians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.8%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 24ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,940 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 204,764 deniers, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

A ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, politicians are battling inequality by declaring themselves better than everyone else, the statue in the Cobbledick Plaza has a solar panel for a hat, and Andrews's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 24's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN 24 is ranked 279,643rd in the world and 486th in NationStates for Most Beautiful Environments, with 5.96 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
