The Inestimably Holy Empire of Gooblaria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Chosen One with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, unlimited-speed roads, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 21.843 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. The average income tax rate is 1.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Gooblarian economy, worth a remarkable 8,574 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 392,535 Goobles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Bruised children are made to thank their bullies for the valuable life lessons, failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, the nation is famous for having one of the world's largest Hyena hunting institutions, and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. Crime is totally unknown. Gooblaria's national animal is the Hyena, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Gooblaria is ranked 289,683rd in the world and 1,207th in Europeia for Most Secular, with 8.82 Atheism Rate.
