The Republic of SSN0 is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Daniel O'Connell with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, lack of airports, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 7.95 billion SSN0ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. The average income tax rate is 69.3%.

The frighteningly efficient SSN0ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,364 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 297,421 marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

You can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, commemoration of the Great Mikes Hope War costs almost as much as the war itself, and the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SSN0's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Celtic Paganism.

SSN0 is ranked 25,143^rd in the world and 212^th in Mikes Hope for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,932.43 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
