The Transcendental Republic of Gosheon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Hyrium Bright with a fair hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 39.41 billion Gosheone are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaieshnia. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gosheone economy, worth a remarkable 8,887 trillion auragilds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 225,513 auragilds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

History lessons resemble a who's-who and how's-how of crime, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, folk are absolutely certain that you can never be absolutely certain, and the real art was the AI friends we made along the way. Crime is totally unknown. Gosheon's national animal is the Kaieshnian farrow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gosheon is ranked 1,206^th in the world and 22^nd in 10000 Islands for Most Developed, scoring 98.4 on the Human Development Index.
