The Transcendental Republic of Gosheon is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hyrium Bright with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 34.259 billion Gosheone enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaieshnia. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gosheone economy, worth a remarkable 7,408 trillion auragilds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 216,262 auragilds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, a passport is literally priceless, and the government pours millions of auragilds into rehabilitation programs annually. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Gosheon's national animal is the Kaieshnian farrow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gosheon is ranked 257,342^nd in the world and 789^th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 47.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
