The Inestimably Holy Empire of Gooblaria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Chosen One with a fair hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 25.66 billion Gooblarians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goobla. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Gooblarian economy, worth an astonishing 10,680 trillion Goobles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 416,238 Goobles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Passengers often cause a stink on public transport, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless, and every manufactory has a pharmacy built in. Crime is totally unknown. Gooblaria's national animal is the Hyena, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Gooblaria is ranked 319,770th in the world and 1,448th in Europeia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -25.88 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
