The United Kingdom of Gobshite is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by malevelon with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, vat-grown people, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 3.596 billion Gobshiteans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Not a missile silo. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gobshitean economy, worth 651 trillion Gobblers a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 181,249 Gobblers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The typical murderer weighs 150kg and has hairy arms, retiring citizens are dragged away in the middle of the night by mysterious men in black suits, young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, and under love's heavy burden malevelon sinks lower in the political right's esteem. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gobshite's national animal is the Cottingshite, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is NO.

Gobshite is ranked 7,883^rd in the world and 1^st in Territhsolien for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 6,489.52 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
