The Republic of Gochieland is a huge, safe nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 498 million Gochielandians 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 Law & Order, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 55.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Gochielandian economy, worth 34.9 trillion Duas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,126 Duas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Formula One cars in Gochieland boast 56 miles per gallon, voting is voluntary, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gochieland's national animal is the Quokkas, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gochieland is ranked 105,427^th in the world and 76^th in Karma for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,190.49 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
