The Rogue Nation of MSN 29 is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, prohibition of alcohol, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.723 billion MSN 29ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. The average income tax rate is 54.7%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 29ian economy, worth a remarkable 5,054 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 368,322 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Every week is blindness awareness week, government popup ads are springing up like weeds, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, and asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 29's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Awakening.

MSN 29 is ranked 101,607th in the world and 450th in NationStates for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 904.4 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
