The Holy Empire of Golden Ticket is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 915 million Golden Ticketians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government prioritizes Spirituality, although Welfare, Administration, and Defense are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 50.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Golden Ticketian economy, worth 33.8 trillion Wonka Scrumdidlyumptious Bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 36,902 Wonka Scrumdidlyumptious Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Aggressive promotion of global warming puts polar bears on thin ice, clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, and blood stains the floors of the execution room and the hands of the state. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Golden Ticket's national animal is the Oompa-Loompa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Golden Ticket is ranked 71,857^th in the world and 1^st in Clockworks for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 1.22 Bank.
