The Rogue Nation of DSN96 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dave with an even hand, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 1.632 billion DSN96ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Buenos Aires. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.1%.

The frighteningly efficient DSN96ian economy, worth 206 trillion kronor 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 impressive 126,360 kronor, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 429,113 per year while the poor average 27,451, a ratio of 15.6 to 1.

Aging citizens are celebrating the end of the 'Early Bird War', road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DSN96's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cliodhna.

DSN96 is ranked 35,298th in the world and 6th in New York for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,728.74 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
