The People's Republic of Goitacaba is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 125 million Goitacabans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Goitacaban economy, worth 4.30 trillion guarás a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 34,365 guarás, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens have an obligation to remain silent and anything they say may be used against them, scientists take credit every time it rains in The Leftist Assembly, every computer glitch triggers an immediate counter-espionage response, and a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goitacaba's national animal is the crested caracara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Goitacaba is ranked 46,673^rd in the world and 351^st in The Leftist Assembly for Most Cultured, scoring 73 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
