The Transcendental Republic of Gosheon is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Hyrium Bright with a fair hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, irreverence towards religion, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 39.566 billion Gosheone are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaieshnia. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gosheone economy, worth a remarkable 8,942 trillion auragilds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 226,020 auragilds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, the government subsidizes everything from particle physics to fabric softeners, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and the death penalty has been reintroduced. Crime is totally unknown. Gosheon's national animal is the Kaieshnian farrow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gosheon is ranked 212,480^th in the world and 199^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 88.81 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
