The Sultanate of Goldbergya is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Galahad with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, soft-spoken computers, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 4.945 billion Goldbergyans 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 Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of BlackFord. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Goldbergyan economy, worth 773 trillion Bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 156,371 Bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

War vets look after war animals, it is a silent spring in Goldbergya, theoretical science is only theoretical, and the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goldbergya's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Goldbergya is ranked 6,607^th in the world and 185^th in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 188.6 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
