The Rogue Nation of BSN2 is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Blanca with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.811 billion BSN2ians 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, 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. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.4%.

The frighteningly efficient BSN2ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,650 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 242,255 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government regrets to say that it is forced to make cuts to citizens, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", the nation has always been at war with Moltovea, and protests are illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BSN2's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agape.

BSN2 is ranked 296,602nd in the world and 727th in Mikes Hope for Nicest Citizens, with 1.19 average smiles per day.
