The Rogue Nation of GSN31 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gwen with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.15 billion GSN31ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Callan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.6%.

The frighteningly efficient GSN31ian economy, worth 539 trillion harps 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 a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. 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 impressive 171,124 harps, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

The latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, caroling is considered a public disturbance, pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, and it's been a banner year for local vexillology. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GSN31's national animal is the banshee, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Caitlicigh na hÉireann.

GSN31 is ranked 18,864th in the world and 1st in Lucerne for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
