The Empire of Goblin 44 is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, strictly enforced bedtime, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.013 billion Goblin 44ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, with Education, Industry, and Defense also on the agenda, while Social Policy isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 41.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Goblin 44ian economy, worth 723 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Gambling, Retail, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 72,197 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens sell their moldy bread as homemade penicillin, all footpaths have tollbooths, groups of government workers are declared protected tribes if they venture too deep into the Capitol, and bars are packed at all hours. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Goblin 44's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Goblin 44 is ranked 331,136^th in the world and 30^th in Gobbotopia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -13.15 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
