The Republic of SSN51 is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Daniel O'Connell with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.197 billion SSN51ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. The average income tax rate is 64.4%.

The frighteningly efficient SSN51ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,374 trillion marks a year, is fairly 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 289,686 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, and forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies. 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 311,099^th in the world and 764^th in Mikes Hope for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -55 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
