The Oppressed Peoples of Central Goontopia is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed population of 45 million Central Goontopians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Administration, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.7%.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Central Goontopian economy, worth 1.76 trillion M-16s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 39,081 M-16s, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', kids are exceptionally good at digging holes, all animals are equal but some are more equal than others, and when people want to start a family the government helps them planet carefully. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Central Goontopia's national animal is the War Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Central Goontopia is ranked 308,200th in the world and 10th in UCAZ The CCCCCCCCCCC Autonomous Zone for Largest Populations, with 45.0 million capita.
