The Sea Thug of Gobfin is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.284 billion Gobfinians 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 61.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Gobfinian economy, worth 431 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 100,738 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Business is banging at no-tell motels, funding for education has been redirected into the military, legend has it Leader's shower singing echoes through the halls of government, and scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gobfin's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gobfin is ranked 62,716^th in the world and 3^rd in United Nations of Prosperity for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,618.99 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
