The E Street Nation of GoldenDevil is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.937 billion GoldenDevilians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.8%.

The strong GoldenDevilian economy, worth 167 trillion Stormlights a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,986 Stormlights, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government seizes the property of the recently deceased, war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, and a tax exemption has created a new hunger for octogenarian millionaires dating women 60 years their younger. Crime is a problem. GoldenDevil's national animal is the Windspren, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

GoldenDevil is ranked 129,583^rd in the world and 8^th in Atlantic for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 81.16 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
