The Mischief of Gob Gob is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gib-Gob with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.966 billion gobs 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 large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the big den. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Gobic economy, worth 200 trillion Gibs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,963 Gibs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The only things written in the stars are arrest warrants for astrologers, when shaking hands with foreign leaders Gib-Gob wears an armoured gauntlet, the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gob Gob's national animal is the Bun, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gob Gob is ranked 15,297th in the world and 39th in Wintreath for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,028.38 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
