The Rogue Nation of MSN 5 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.246 billion MSN 5ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. The average income tax rate is 66.4%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 5ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,791 trillion rupees 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, Uranium Mining, 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 amazing 301,879 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, Andrews's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, and love is a precious butterfly to be crushed under diplomatic protocol. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 5's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN 5 is ranked 36,276th in the world and 342nd in NationStates for Most Stationary, with 1,246.09450111012 days.
