The Rogue Nation of MSN48 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Lolicorez with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, otherworldly petting zoo, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.923 billion MSN48ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kapitolaz. The average income tax rate is 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient MSN48ian economy, worth 511 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 175,123 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, baby dolls thrown in the trash are a leading cause of panic attacks, and the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN48's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

MSN48 is ranked 33,086th in the world and 31st in Philosophers for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,988.11 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
