The Republic of SSN85 is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Daniel O'Connell with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.116 billion SSN85ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. The average income tax rate is 35.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient SSN85ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,147 trillion dollars 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, Furniture Restoration, 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 264,584 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crops are flattened as farmers bludgeon insects to death, the same 8116 social media bloggers always loudly and immediately agree with Daniel O'Connell's every word on Twitcher, money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, and pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SSN85's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Celtic Paganism.

SSN85 is ranked 326,028^th in the world and 866^th in Mikes Hope for Safest, scoring 4.56 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
