The Rogue Nation of BSN54 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Blanca with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.869 billion BSN54ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pamplona. The average income tax rate is 59.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient BSN54ian economy, worth 453 trillion coins a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 157,980 coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense, hordes of gardening enthusiasts are being banished from cities nationwide, and virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BSN54's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Agape.

BSN54 is ranked 93,238th in the world and 161st in Sophia for Most Extreme, scoring 24.38 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
