The Rogue Nation of GSN99 is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Gwen with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The humorless, devout population of 3.255 billion GSN99ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
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 66.7%.
The frighteningly efficient GSN99ian economy, worth 509 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. 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 156,663 harps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.
Parents are relieved they no longer need to help with their kids' algebra homework, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, and government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GSN99's national animal is the banshee, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Caitlicigh na hÉireann.
GSN99 is ranked 27,306th in the world and 7th in The Great Experiment for Smartest Citizens, with 55.39 quips per hour.
