The Empire of Goblin 45 is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its public floggings, ban on automobiles, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.947 billion Goblin 45ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 46.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Goblin 45ian economy, worth 368 trillion lire 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Information Technology. 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 37,074 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children have nightmares about the eerie red glow and constant whirring of newly-installed machines, the government is a law unto itself, doughnut-makers claim their products are healthy because they are fortified with vitamins, and the Goblin 45ian government claim that Goblin 45ians are oppressed out of love. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goblin 45's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Goblin 45 is ranked 209,832^nd in the world and 19^th in Gobbotopia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 155.62 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
