The Confederacy of The Goggles is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Wonko the Sane with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, prohibition of alcohol, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 33.556 billion Gogglesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lamuella. The average income tax rate is 6.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gogglesian economy, worth an astonishing 26,695 trillion Triganic Pus a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 795,547 Triganic Pus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Morality classes are compulsory for all school students, morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom, nations across the world are quick to praise Wonko the Sane's good looks and intellectual prowess, and government ministers claim to ride dragons to work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. 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 4,287^th in the world and 1^st in The New Old South for Most Conservative, scoring 96.33 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
