The Commonwealth of Golb is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its enforced nudity, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed population of 17.4 billion Golbians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 55.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Golbian economy, worth 339 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 19,524 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, the government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year, and voting is voluntary. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Golb's national animal is the fox.

Golb is ranked 83,567th in the world and 700th in Artificial Solar System for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 55.26 Effective Tax Rate.
