The Rogue Nation of MSN57 is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Highlander with an even hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 8.171 billion MSN57ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Froabiax. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.5%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN57ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,416 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, 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 295,765 deniers, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, sex changes are routinely performed at MSN57's hospitals, the government snoops on private internet connections, and smart fridges sing the praises of Cards for fear of being iced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN57's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN57 is ranked 41,033rd in the world and 803rd in Mikes Hope for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 49.24 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
