The Empire of Goblin 4 is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, lack of airports, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.809 billion Goblin 4ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Administration, although Healthcare, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Education and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 41.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Goblin 4ian economy, worth 715 trillion rupees 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, quite specialized black market in Retail, Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. 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 55,853 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, the state subsidizes liposuction, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and Leader is the self-declared God of all Goblin 4. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Goblin 4's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Goblin 4 is ranked 2,038^th in the world and 1^st in Gobbotopia for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 8,250.43 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
