The Empire of Goblin 7 is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.565 billion Goblin 7ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.5%.

The strong Goblin 7ian economy, worth 823 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,504 lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 192,204 per year while the poor average 17,598, a ratio of 10.9 to 1.

Populations of two-headed cobras have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, school children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel, army regiments supporting different football teams are a frequent cause of friendly fire incidents, and it's said that a Goblin 7ian always pays his debts with significant compounding. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Goblin 7's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Goblin 7 is ranked 292,636th in the world and 22nd in Gobbotopia for Most Developed, scoring 50.63 on the Human Development Index.
