The Republic of Golshingo is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Jimmy Cricket with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ritual sacrifices, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 2.901 billion Golshingoans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Lexingham. The average income tax rate is 47.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Golshingoan economy, worth 146 trillion Decarnas a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,660 Decarnas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Bombs make good ploughs, legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, praying before a battle is a court-martial offence, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Golshingo's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Golshingo is ranked 64,358th in the world and 356th in Europe for Most Average, scoring 44.85 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
