The United States of Goblindis is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 609 million Goblins 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sukma. The average income tax rate is 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Goblin economy, worth 19.2 trillion nuts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Average income is 31,530 nuts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Soldiers with colourful mohawks make themselves perfect targets for snipers, babysitters are a thing of the past, the government is known to care more about its buildings than its people, and it's rare to find an unchewed pencil. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goblindis's national animal is the goblin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Goblindis is ranked 18,325th in the world and 17th in Hell for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 81.9 Effective Tax Rate.
