The Realm of Golfisgood is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Wizard with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate population of 7.415 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ping Eye. The average income tax rate is 87%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, euthanasia is legal, and commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Golfisgood's national animal is the Albatross, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Birdie.

Golfisgood is ranked 23rd in Absolution and 2,271st in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 16 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
