The Rogue Nation of MSN36 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, disturbing lack of elderly people, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.574 billion MSN36ians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kastrovx. The average income tax rate is 55.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient MSN36ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,019 trillion pounds 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 amazing 222,900 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Trying to toast marshmallows in an electric fireplace just isn't the same, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, adultery has been made a capital offence, and family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN36's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN36 is ranked 326,945th in the world and 1,499th in the Plains of Perdition for Nicest Citizens, with 0.44 average smiles per day.
