The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.586 billion Goliaths are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich.

Average income is an amazing 432,980 Tangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
