The The Great Empire of Gogina is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Fuhrer Wolfgang Gustuv with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, parental licensing program, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.681 billion Aryans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 67.1%.

The Aryan economy, worth 130 trillion Liranmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 77,359 Liranmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags, stray cats threaten the fledgling avian-based internet, the army's trophy cabinets have gone all-organic, and vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gogina's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gogina is ranked 66,991^st in the world and 12^th in The Archipelago States for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,265.42 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
