The Rogue Nation of BSN17 is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Blanca with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.861 billion BSN17ians 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, moralistic, 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 Pamplona. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient BSN17ian economy, worth 463 trillion coins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,160 coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, and Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BSN17's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agape.

BSN17 is ranked 301,271st in the world and 603rd in Sophia for Most Secular, with 5.42 Atheism Rate.
