The Kingdom of Goldvarnia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Amrous with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 21.086 billion Goldvarnians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barnlökstad. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Goldvarnian economy, worth a remarkable 5,062 trillion Kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 240,086 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, Goldvarnian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime is totally unknown. Goldvarnia's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Goldvarnia is ranked 6,656^th in the world and 3^rd in Scandinavia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 11,071.62 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
