The Inestimably Holy Empire of Gooblaria is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Chosen One with an even hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, strictly enforced bedtime, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 20.638 billion Gooblarians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goobla. The average income tax rate is 1.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Gooblarian economy, worth a remarkable 8,031 trillion Goobles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 389,146 Goobles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government denies that it has an agency overseeing plausible deniability of black-ops agencies, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, bizarre-looking creatures called 'Hyenadogs' dominate wildlife preserves, and every fourth child is born with flippers instead of hands. Crime is totally unknown. Gooblaria's national animal is the Hyena, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Gooblaria is ranked 284,357th in the world and 1,289th in Europeia for Safest, scoring 3.22 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
