The Rogue Nation of Gusher is a small, cultured nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The devout population of 23 million Gusherians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 14.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Gusherian economy, worth 1.03 trillion Plebs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 44,948 Plebs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Illegal immigration remains a hot topic, every week is blindness awareness week, the new airport at Mr. Giles' farm is panicking his sheep, and the moral worth of national allies is judged by their GDP. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gusher's national animal is the Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Gusher is ranked 100,090^th in the world and 427^th in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Poor Incomes, with 30,710.96 Standard Monetary Units.
