The Republic of GNS S01 is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.58 billion GNS S01ians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.1%.

The thriving GNS S01ian economy, worth 290 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 52,120 guilders, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 218,782 per year while the poor average 8,070, a ratio of 27.1 to 1.

Invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, and weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future. Crime is moderate. GNS S01's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

GNS S01 is ranked 103,936^th in the world and 22^nd in Viridian Sound for Highest Drug Use, scoring 168.93 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
