The Fiefdom of Golding is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning falcon population. The hard-working population of 4.935 billion Goldingians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 13.9%.

The Goldingian economy, worth 243 trillion gold coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 49,391 gold coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Golding's national animal is the falcon.

Golding is ranked 210,338^th in the world and 3,185^th in Remembrance for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 272.89 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
