The Rogue Nation of Ten10 is a small, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings, national health service, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 32 million Tens are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 12.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ten10ian economy, worth 2.09 trillion Tenths a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,361 Tenths, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Gated communities have guards to keep their residents in, an underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, and school cafeterias serve nothing but protein powder and vitamin supplements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ten10's national animal is the Cerberus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ten10 is ranked 179,267^th in the world and 3,476^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 52.88 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
