The Federal Imperium of New Goldman is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Harry Norton II with a fair hand, and notable for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.887 billion Goldmanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District of Nortonia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Goldmanian economy, worth 282 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 149,562 Imperial Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 479,507 per year while the poor average 35,385, a ratio of 13.6 to 1.

A girl's success in life is often linked to her performance in beauty pageants, the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, gene-engineered sewerjacks don't smell but they do stink, and more and more people are signing up for the government party. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Goldman's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Cult of Norton.

New Goldman is ranked 13,476^th in the world and 467^th in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 136.68 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
