The Republic of Gochieland is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, devout population of 558 million Gochielandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 58.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Gochielandian economy, worth 37.6 trillion Duas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,447 Duas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Formula One cars in Gochieland boast 56 miles per gallon, voting is voluntary, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gochieland's national animal is the Quokkas, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gochieland is ranked 166,038^th in the world and 113^th in Karma for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 770.32 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
