The Pantheon of Gold Sands is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Red with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 4.58 billion Goldens are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elysium. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Golden economy, worth 591 trillion Dobrãoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,072 Dobrãoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, and the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gold Sands's national animal is the Kraken, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Piracy.

Gold Sands is ranked 19,934^th in the world and 1,122^nd in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 92 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
