The Rogue Nation of GSN4 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Gwen with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The humorless, devout population of 3.137 billion GSN4ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Callan. The average income tax rate is 70.0%.

The frighteningly efficient GSN4ian economy, worth 480 trillion harps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,228 harps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Babies are a small but significant export, Caitlicigh na hÉireann now admits men and women into its clergy, civil servants are no longer allowed to cross their t's, and radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GSN4's national animal is the banshee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Caitlicigh na hÉireann.

GSN4 is ranked 329,567th in the world and 182nd in Albastru for Most Cultured, scoring 40 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
