The Empire of Goblin 46 is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, hatred of cheese, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.893 billion Goblin 46ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Education, although Social Policy and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The Goblin 46ian economy, worth 304 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. 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 30,785 rupees, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 127,428 per year while the poor average 4,882, a ratio of 26.1 to 1.

The nation is now proudly cholera-free, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, blue bloods are welcome in Goblin 46, and fraternities are rejoicing at government-subsidized partying. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Goblin 46's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Goblin 46 is ranked 297,647^th in the world and 21^st in Gobbotopia for Nicest Citizens, with 1.14 average smiles per day.
