The Gouyoku Alliance of Gouyoku is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its digital currency, anti-smoking policies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.273 billion Gouyokuans 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 17.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Gouyokuan economy, worth 175 trillion Oily credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 138,158 Oily credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

All mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, yawning is a sure sign of unemployment, and foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of Gouyoku. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gouyoku's national animal is the unpaid worker, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gouyoku is ranked 29,915^th in the world and 6^th in Squeaky Squeakers for Most Developed, scoring 82.97 on the Human Development Index.
