The Republic of Goudystan is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President Goudy with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.853 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 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Goudystanian economy, worth 531 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 137,872 Euro Goudystannais, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

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, strange lights seen in the sky are officially regarded as weather balloons or hoaxes and nothing else, and bargain hunters descend on disaster zones for a quick spot of grocery shopping. 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 191,224^th in the world and 947^th in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 109.19 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
