The Republic of Goudystan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Goudy with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.836 billion Goudystannais are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goudystan ville. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Goudystanian economy, worth 528 trillion Euro Goudystannais a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,872 Euro Goudystannais, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Chocolate in Goudystan has its flavour enhanced by the salty tears of enslaved factory workers, CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, strange lights seen in the sky are officially regarded as weather balloons or hoaxes and nothing else, and bargain hunters descend on disaster zones for a quick spot of grocery shopping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goudystan's national animal is the Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Goudystan is ranked 22,015^th in the world and 155^th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 45.21 flags saluted per person per day.
