The Rogue Nation of DSN4 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Dave with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.567 billion DSN4ians 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, well-organized 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. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.3%.
The frighteningly efficient DSN4ian economy, worth 214 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. 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 impressive 136,922 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 405,315 per year while the poor average 36,331, a ratio of 11.2 to 1.
Newspapers may not print any negative stories about the government, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, programmers often reinvent the wheel, and charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DSN4's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cliodhna.
DSN4 is ranked 137,800th in the world and 639th in Europeia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 37,927.59 Standard Monetary Units.
