The Rogue Nation of BSN19 is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Blanca with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.652 billion BSN19ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pamplona. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.6%.

The frighteningly efficient BSN19ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,617 trillion pesetas a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 243,129 pesetas, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Local officials love to claim the protection of their Big Brother, ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, a newly discovered small mammal's name translates into BSN19ian as 'your finger, you fool', and a handful of megacorporations own every "craft brewery" in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BSN19's national animal is the leon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agape.

BSN19 is ranked 150,885th in the world and 141st in Mikes Hope for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 475.15 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
