The Rogue Nation of DSN57 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dave with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, ritual sacrifices, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.739 billion DSN57ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

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 Buenos Aires. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient DSN57ian economy, worth 453 trillion deniers 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. 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 165,647 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse, and every week is blindness awareness week. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DSN57's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cliodhna.

DSN57 is ranked 283,012th in the world and 635th in The Funian Puppet Region for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 1.3 missed references per hour.
