The Technocracy of Golgorna is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by -data expunged- with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, vat-grown people, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.738 billion Golgornans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unlondon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Golgornan economy, worth a remarkable 1,258 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 219,290 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,829,243 per year while the poor average 5,164, a ratio of 354 to 1.

Customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, hairdressers are forced to use all the tricks of the trade after citizens became required to wear helmets at all times, only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, and soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Golgorna's national animal is the 20 mm autocannon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kibology.

Golgorna is ranked 2,165^th in the world and 19^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 8,297.08 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
