The United Kingdom of Godislia is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.785 billion Godislians 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 88.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Godislian economy, worth 249 trillion Kredits 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, Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Retail. 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 an impressive 139,308 Kredits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's soldiers are considered the best-dressed in The UMNS, the military patrols the streets in search of possible secessionists, Leader can't hear a thing when the unwashed masses throw rocks at the new state limousine, and the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Godislia's national animal is the Snegir, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Godislia is ranked 310,515th in the world and 667th in The UMNS for Least Corrupt Governments, with 57.21 percentage of bribes refused.
