The Orthodox Christian Nation of South Godland is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Matthew The Great with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.989 billion Godlandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Langoniom. The average income tax rate is 25.3%.

The frighteningly efficient South Godlandian economy, worth 633 trillion denars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,889 denars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Children have taken to using semaphore in light of the recent mobile phone ban, ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box, a third of Godlandians are e-certified CEOs, and wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Godland's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

South Godland is ranked 84,547^th in the world and 353^rd in 10000 Islands for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,104.62 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
