The Rogue Nation of Gusher is a small, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The devout population of 20 million Gusherians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 13.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Gusherian economy, worth 890 billion Plebs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 44,537 Plebs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Senior executives have become freelance basket-weavers in search of less stress and better work-life balance, education and welfare spending are on the rise, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, and contestants on Gusher's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gusher's national animal is the Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Gusher is ranked 236,234^th in the world and 502^nd in The Leftist Assembly for Most Developed, scoring 52.29 on the Human Development Index.
