The Free Land of Goodenise is a mammoth, cultured nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.892 billion Goodeniseans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 58.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Goodenisean economy, worth 388 trillion Basilicums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 43,737 Basilicums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The national anthem is a rather effective sleeping aid, nude folks shun cloaks at the seashore, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', and the government is proudly free of crabs. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Goodenise's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Goodenise is ranked 142^nd in the world and 9^th in Osiris for Highest Drug Use, scoring 422.48 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
