The Underground Society of A Gobbo is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Greater Gobbo with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 16.233 billion Gobbos 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Public Transport, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Underdark. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The strong Gobbish economy, worth 741 trillion money money monies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,672 money money monies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 179,031 per year while the poor average 7,927, a ratio of 22.6 to 1.

Sausages are seldomly seen in the supermarket, people think garlic bread counts as one of their "five a day", expensive lawyers are hired to defend citizens in court for public urination charges against their pets, and the lactose-intolerant are force-fed cheese products with predictably gassy results. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. A Gobbo's national animal is the Hapa Hapa Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Dark-Ones-Teachings.

A Gobbo is ranked 282,625^th in the world and 3^rd in The Dumpster Behind the Coffee Shop for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -13.11 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
