The Sultanate of Goldbergya is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Galahad with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of prisons, and triple-decker prams. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 4.841 billion Goldbergyans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of BlackFord. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Goldbergyan economy, worth 764 trillion Bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 157,920 Bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
The nation refuses to provide international aid, sections of the police receive paramilitary training, the government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash, and the government's suicide hotline now redirects callers to local tax lawyers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goldbergya's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Goldbergya is ranked 8,470th in the world and 194th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 104.51 law-abiding acts per hour.
