The Empire of Goblin 41 is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.891 billion Goblin 41ians 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 large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 48.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Goblin 41ian economy, worth 715 trillion lire a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,362 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

A newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Goblin 41ian as 'your finger, you fool', soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans, couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', and homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goblin 41's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Goblin 41 is ranked 272,574^th in the world and 15^th in Gobbotopia for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 37.37 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
