The Rogue Nation of MSN 39 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, disturbing lack of elderly people, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.369 billion MSN 39ians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. The average income tax rate is 57.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient MSN 39ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,066 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, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 246,906 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', the big red machine has ground to a halt, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of MSN 39ian democracy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 39's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Awakening.
MSN 39 is ranked 11,429th in the world and 206th in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 98.67 law-abiding acts per hour.
