The Rogue Nation of DSN91 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dave with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.626 billion DSN91ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Buenos Aires. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient DSN91ian economy, worth 211 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,308 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, and children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DSN91's national animal is the pike, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cliodhna.

DSN91 is ranked 170,185th in the world and 11th in Lardyland for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 141.69 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
