The Republic of SSN51 is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Daniel O'Connell with an iron fist, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.102 billion SSN51ians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.5%.

The frighteningly efficient SSN51ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,301 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 284,052 marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Tax assessment offices double as polling stations, the government is hounded to provide tissues whenever the feelings of the Dàguó people are hurt, Dublin is a police state during international summits, and the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SSN51's national animal is the swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Celtic Paganism.

SSN51 is ranked 327,251^st in the world and 824^th in Mikes Hope for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -15.29 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
