The Goodness of AGoodPlace is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by AGoodLeader with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 14.212 billion AGoodPlaceans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of AGoodCapital. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient AGoodPlacean economy, worth a remarkable 1,288 trillion AGoodCurrencies a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,687 AGoodCurrencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Healthcare workers are flummoxed over the spike in foreign tourists with sudden-onset heart disease, artists are pillars of society, class action lawsuits have gone up in smoke thanks to government interference, and male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AGoodPlace's national animal is the AGoodAnimal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

AGoodPlace is ranked 13,173^rd in the world and 506^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,846.02 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
