The Republic of SSN51 is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Daniel O'Connell with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, parental licensing program, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.007 billion SSN51ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.6%.

The frighteningly efficient SSN51ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,234 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 279,111 marks, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

People who get diabetes can sue donut manufacturers, pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, a burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons, and business ambassadors offer bong tokes to foreign leaders. 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 28,055^th in the world and 290^th in Mikes Hope for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,766.6 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
