The Rogue Nation of GSN29 is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Gwen with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, unlimited-speed roads, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.219 billion GSN29ians 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, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Callan. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient GSN29ian economy, worth 501 trillion harps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,824 harps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, the most popular stadium acts are one-off performances, Gwen steals from the rich and gives to the needy, and confused drunks wake up to irate drill sergeants whipping them into shape. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GSN29's national animal is the banshee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Caitlicigh na hÉireann.
GSN29 is ranked 38,573rd in the world and 21st in Aspen for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,865.91 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
