The Rogue Nation of MSN 49 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Highlander with an even hand, and notable for its aversion to nipples, enslaved workforce, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.341 billion MSN 49ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. The average income tax rate is 55.9%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 49ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,986 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 238,214 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, the 'sing-a-long with Highlander' album is a popular souvenir, videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, and strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 49's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Awakening.

MSN 49 is ranked 6,138th in the world and 184th in NationStates for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 105,052.47 Standard Monetary Units.
