The representation of Lady Gaga as a nation state would be embodied in a very specific type of country with aspects uniquely tailored to the nature of a Gaga-inspired nation. First of all, what role would the government take? Lady Gaga is inherently rebellious in regards to societal norms—purposefully flaunting a blatant disregard for conventional standards, and would assuredly impart these values to the governmental structure in “Gagaland”. Just as Lady Gaga creates nonsensical costumes representative of her distinctive message—"Well, that's your opinion, isn't it? And I'm not about to waste my time trying to change it", "You have to be unique, and different, and shine in your own way", "People will always talk, so lets give them sumthin to talk about"—her country would also hold dear the values of independent individualism.
And who would inhabit this new country? People inclined towards these values of creativity, eccentricity, and distinctiveness. The country will have few, if any laws typical of a new nation, and instead will embrace the different qualities of it’s citizens, making allowances for actions and lifestyles atypical of the average person such as homosexuality, unique modes of dress, sexual promiscuity, or other actions sometimes regarded as negative by our cultural ideals in America.
