The Sultanate of Goldbergya is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Galahad with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 4.962 billion Goldbergyans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of BlackFord. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Goldbergyan economy, worth 769 trillion Bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 155,169 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vitriolic divorce proceedings have become prime-time television, search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, and hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goldbergya's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Goldbergya is ranked 103,546^th in the world and 838^th in the South Pacific for Largest Populations, with 4.96 billion capita.
