The Pegasus of Guard 73 is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning eagle population. The hard-nosed population of 26.93 billion Guard 73ians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 42.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Guard 73ian economy, worth 588 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,862 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guard 73's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Guard 73 is ranked 216,393^rd in the world and 1^st in Warhammer for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring zero on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
