The Republic of Goudystan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Goudy with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, public floggings, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.784 billion Goudystannais are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goudystan ville. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Goudystanian economy, worth 526 trillion Euro Goudystannais a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,099 Euro Goudystannais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Goudystanian Navy, chocolate in Goudystan has its flavour enhanced by the salty tears of enslaved factory workers, CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, and strange lights seen in the sky are officially regarded as weather balloons or hoaxes and nothing else. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goudystan's national animal is the Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Goudystan is ranked 6,263^rd in the world and 133^rd in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,079.24 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
