The Confederacy of The Goggles is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Wonko the Sane with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, parental licensing program, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.366 billion Gogglesians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Environment and Welfare not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lamuella. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Gogglesian economy, worth a remarkable 5,805 trillion Triganic Pus a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 434,326 Triganic Pus, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,041,435 per year while the poor average 54,981, a ratio of 37.1 to 1.

Banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, amusement park rides frequently collapse due to lack of maintenance, it is a silent spring in The Goggles, and perverts across the land rejoice after 'sexual harassment' was recently renamed 'persuasive courting'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. The Goggles's national animal is the Bugblatter Beast, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Saneism.

The Goggles is ranked 9^th in the world and 1^st in The New Old South for Most Devout, with 41,621.41 Prayers Per Hour.
