The Empire of Goblin 46 is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, otherworldly petting zoo, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.948 billion Goblin 46ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Education, although Social Policy and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.8%.

The Goblin 46ian economy, worth 290 trillion rupees 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 slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. 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 29,152 rupees, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 114,806 per year while the poor average 5,021, a ratio of 22.9 to 1.

Toothpaste is a mealtime delicacy, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, the populace has developed a mortal fear of the woods, and roosters that herald the rising sun are immediately sent to the slaughterhouse. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Goblin 46's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Goblin 46 is ranked 302,826th in the world and 26th in Gobbotopia for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 25.73 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
