The Free Land of That One Goober is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, democratic population of 206 million Goobers are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The very strong a Goober economy, worth 14.2 trillion Valens a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 69,109 Valens, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 220,612 per year while the poor average 16,454, a ratio of 13.4 to 1.

Parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling, a shocking number of estate planners are beneficiaries of their clients' wills, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, and poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. That One Goober's national animal is the Salmon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

That One Goober is ranked 250,995^th in the world and 22^nd in Kryndel for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 90 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
