The Rogue Nation of BSN23 is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Blanca with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.802 billion BSN23ians 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 relatively small, 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 54.5%.

The frighteningly efficient BSN23ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,664 trillion coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 244,727 coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 738,599 per year while the poor average 63,177, a ratio of 11.7 to 1.

The government has granted that two plus two makes four, the sun rises an hour later on border communities, politicians stage photo ops featuring barely functional fighter jets, and scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BSN23's national animal is the animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agape.

BSN23 is ranked 38,194th in the world and 510th in Mikes Hope for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 3,595.01 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
