The Rogue Nation of GSN17 is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Gwen with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, zero percent divorce rate, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, devout population of 1.588 billion GSN17ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Callan. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient GSN17ian economy, worth 189 trillion harps a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,085 harps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Traffic cops are puzzled to see that nobody exceeds the speed limits, newspapers are running a front-page picture of Gwen holding a crowbar and standing over a bloodied stockbroker, the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, and the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GSN17's national animal is the banshee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Caitlicigh na hÉireann.

GSN17 is ranked 95,564^th in the world and 29^th in European Union for Safest, scoring 84.58 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
