The Federation of Golfaso is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Nickolas Lambrey with an iron fist, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.84 billion Golfasonis 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spalatio. The average income tax rate is 39.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Golfasoan economy, worth 183 trillion Kunas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,466 Kunas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police think a properly conducted criminal investigation is a real pain, thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Golfaso's national animal is the Lynx, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Golfaso is ranked 99,005th in the world and 5,615th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
