The Empire of Goblin 41 is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.761 billion Goblin 41ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 49.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Goblin 41ian economy, worth 694 trillion lire a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,109 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The Small Council has more than a little influence, sales of fishnet stockings have reached a record high, the Goblin 41ian Intelligence Agency has put 'Project Quantum Refrigerator' on hold indefinitely, and the Not a Tax Haven Foundation is the most popular charity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goblin 41's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Goblin 41 is ranked 76,883^rd in the world and 4^th in Gobbotopia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 39,313.76 Standard Monetary Units.
