The Federation of East Goshen is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its fear of technology, compulsory military service, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.305 billion East Goshenians 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Plymouth. The average income tax rate is 26.4%.

The strong East Goshenian economy, worth 105 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,550 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Farting etiquette is taught in schools, frequent flyers are chiseled into statues, home renovation shows are increasingly popular, and East Goshen has designated Plymouth as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Goshen's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

East Goshen is ranked 86,794^th in the world and 169^th in Christians for Highest Average Incomes, with 80,550.69 Standard Monetary Units.
