Location: the Rejected Realms

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Mod Liberal Unitary Republic of Goobergunchia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Bea Mefirti with a fair hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 14.614 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Social Equality and Healthcare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goobergunch City. The average income tax rate is 84%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

National parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys', hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in Goobergunchia's many privately-owned prisons, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and armed police units patrol the roads late at night. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem. Goobergunchia's national animal is the red-tailed hawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the knugel.

Goobergunchia is ranked 1,370th in the Rejected Realms and 94,347th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -12 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
