The Federal Republic of Goonasom is a tiny, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning parrot population. The hard-working population of 8 million Goonasomians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 12.1%.

The Goonasomian economy, worth 413 billion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Trout Farming. Average income is 51,658 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goonasom's national animal is the parrot.

Goonasom is ranked 41,724^th in the world and 385^th in the Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,369.84 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
