Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Confederacy of The Goggles is a massive, devout nation, ruled by Wonko the Sane with an iron fist, and notable for its suspicion of poets. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.194 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lamuella. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Woodchip Exports.

Harry Potter books are banned, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, manual labourers must be willing to have cybernetic limbs to get a job, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. The Goggles's national animal is the Bugblatter Beast, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Saneism, and its currency is the Triganic Pu.

The Goggles is ranked 5,026th in the Pacific and 130,023rd in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with -12 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
