The Galactic Oceanic Archipelago of Ghojingles is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Rodney Dangerfield with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 22.029 billion Ghojinauts love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlantis. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ghojian economy, worth a remarkable 5,021 trillion Punchlines a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an amazing 227,956 Punchlines, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bris parties are all the rage, most barbers are also surgeons, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, and it's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ghojingles's national animal is the Lobster, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Absurdism.

Ghojingles is ranked 3,349th in the world and 57th in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 670.77 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
