The United Kingdom of Gobshite is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by malevelon with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 3.602 billion Gobshiteans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Not a missile silo. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gobshitean economy, worth 654 trillion Gobblers a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 181,638 Gobblers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

City budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, the question of 'what is Malevelon's favorite color?' has been given a priority rating of burnt-orange, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, and foreign powers often deal with problems that Gobshite can't handle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gobshite's national animal is the Cottingshite, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is NO.

Gobshite is ranked 4,416^th in the world and 1^st in Territhsolien for Safest, scoring 130.75 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
