The Federative Islands of Goodlinia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Takkten Otral' with an even hand, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 1.499 billion Goodlinians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goldernia. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Goodlinian economy, worth 172 trillion Goodlinian Goldies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,358 Goodlinian Goldies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, and stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goodlinia's national animal is the Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Islam.

Goodlinia is ranked 11,232nd in the world and 2nd in Ijaka for Safest, scoring 119.68 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
