The Disputed Territories of Goldnation is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Bob Loblaw with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, hatred of cheese, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.512 billion Goldies are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belleville. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Goldnationian economy, worth 455 trillion bullions a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 129,609 bullions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Goldnation recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, artists are pillars of society, real power lies not in the debating room but with those who decide what is debated, and undergrads find their professors' mushroom experiments less psychedelic than expected. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goldnation's national animal is the mongoose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Goldnation is ranked 3,109^th in the world and 80^th in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 243.12 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
