The Rogue Nation of MSN 36 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Highlander with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.359 billion MSN 36ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrews. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient MSN 36ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,248 trillion dollars 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 268,995 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Andrews, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, the overhead luggage compartment is often full, and pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MSN 36's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Awakening.

MSN 36 is ranked 260,741^st in the world and 396^th in NationStates for Most Primitive, scoring -193.29 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
