The Borderlands of Goblin Traders Union is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.363 billion Mogbogs enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The strong Goblin Traders Unionian economy, worth 288 trillion golds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. Average income is 45,387 golds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 294,572 per year while the poor average 2,791, a ratio of 105 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Goblin Traders Union's national animal is the mini Ghom, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Goblin Traders Union is ranked 18,566^th in the world and 406^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring 81.85 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
