The Rogue Nation of GSN46 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Gwen with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.552 billion GSN46ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Callan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.0%.

The frighteningly efficient GSN46ian economy, worth 211 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 136,007 harps, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign nationals are widely distrusted, a PhD just ain't what it used to be, Callan's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, and brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GSN46's national animal is the banshee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Caitlicigh na hÉireann.

GSN46 is ranked 120,526th in the world and 18th in Australia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,606.57 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
