The Dictatorship of Goose Reich is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Koopa with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, enslaved workforce, and frequent executions. The cynical, humorless population of 17.974 billion Goose Reichians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goose City. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Goose Reichian economy, worth a remarkable 3,494 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 194,443 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 683,447 per year while the poor average 40,092, a ratio of 17.0 to 1.

Every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, and Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goose Reich's national animal is the Goose, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Goose Reich is ranked 16,746th in the world and 869th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 9,706.97 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
