The Rogue Nation of MSN 33 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.306 billion MSN 33ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. The average income tax rate is 73.7%.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 33ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,380 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 286,588 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Retiring citizens are dragged away in the middle of the night by mysterious men in black suits, Highlander's perky ego is the talk of the town, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, and calling dibs is an unalienable right. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 33's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Awakening.

MSN 33 is ranked 36,305th in the world and 369th in NationStates for Most Stationary, with 1,246.0848275052 days.
