The Rogue Nation of BSN58 is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Blanca with an iron fist, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, smutty television, and public floggings. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.648 billion BSN58ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

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 Pamplona. The average income tax rate is 75.9%.

The frighteningly efficient BSN58ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,726 trillion coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 259,708 coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

A blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries, and beggars lack pockets for spare change. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BSN58's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agape.

BSN58 is ranked 28,291st in the world and 469th in Mikes Hope for Most Developed, scoring 83.61 on the Human Development Index.
