The Transcendental Republic of Gosheon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Hyrium Bright with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, vat-grown people, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 39.542 billion Gosheone are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaieshnia. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gosheone economy, worth a remarkable 8,937 trillion auragilds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 226,020 auragilds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, the government subsidizes everything from particle physics to fabric softeners, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and the death penalty has been reintroduced. Crime is totally unknown. Gosheon's national animal is the Kaieshnian farrow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gosheon is ranked 331,754^th in the world and 423^rd in 10000 Islands for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -31.65 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
