The United Socialist States of North Goiky is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 231 million Goikians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 76.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Goikian economy, worth 18.0 trillion Trade-tokens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 77,929 Trade-tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, farting etiquette is taught in schools, the working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes, and bad punctuation has come to a full stop. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Goiky's national animal is the Davidian, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

North Goiky is ranked 25,996^th in the world and 595^th in The Communist Bloc for Safest, scoring 111.06 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
