The People's Republic of NewGoblinLand is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 109 million NewGoblinLandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case NewGoblinLandian economy, worth 908 billion Heads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 8,332 Heads, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Third party candidates are now gaining some representation in Parliament, vital infrastructure development is on hold because of 'nature and stuff', counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, and third world countries are rich in "I Love NewGoblinLand City" t-shirts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NewGoblinLand's national animal is the German Sheperd dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

NewGoblinLand is ranked 247,428^th in the world and 1,328^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 560 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
