The Republic of GOATJR is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning bison population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 299 million GOATJRians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 14.4%.

The strong GOATJRian economy, worth 15.8 trillion euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is 52,721 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, euthanasia is illegal, and those who sing the national anthem off-key have the key thrown away. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. GOATJR's national animal is the bison, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

GOATJR is ranked 162,926^th in the world and 105^th in Benigtopia for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,081.64 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
