Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Most Serene Republic of Goggalorostan is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor General with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 8.271 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goggalorostan City. The average income tax rate is 72%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, billions of arrowheads are being poured into a space program, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime is totally unknown. Goggalorostan's national animal is the brown bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the arrowhead.

Goggalorostan is ranked 4,333rd in The East Pacific and 87,871st in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -57 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
