The Confederacy of The Goggles is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Wonko the Sane with an iron fist, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.052 billion Gogglesians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lamuella. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Gogglesian economy, worth an astonishing 19,625 trillion Triganic Pus a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 699,594 Triganic Pus, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,108,237 per year while the poor average 180,989, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.

Gogglesians caught jaywalking often have their houses seized by the police, denied drugs and entertainment the nation's youth are taking to petty crime to alleviate their boredom, families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country, and oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. The Goggles's national animal is the Bugblatter Beast, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Saneism.

The Goggles is ranked 87^th in the world and 1^st in The New Old South for Lowest Crime Rates, with 291.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
