The Empire of Goblin 42 is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ritual sacrifices, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 12.738 billion Goblin 42ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 31.7%.

The powerhouse Goblin 42ian economy, worth 968 trillion rupees a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 76,041 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is loathed abroad for dumping all of its waste in international waters, new regulations have put a halt to monkey business, adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives, and charities reserve the right to not help those who go against religious teachings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goblin 42's national animal is the parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Goblin 42 is ranked 260,767^th in the world and 19^th in Gobbotopia for Safest, scoring 24.17 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
