The Rogue Nation of GSN73 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gwen with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.192 billion GSN73ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Callan. The average income tax rate is 65.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient GSN73ian economy, worth 576 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, broadly diversified 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 180,695 harps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

It is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, and human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GSN73's national animal is the banshee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Caitlicigh na hÉireann.

GSN73 is ranked 99,557th in the world and 20th in Texas for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,919.99 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
