The Jingoistic States of Goldfinger is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Auric Goldfinger with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 28.953 billion Goldfingerers are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oddjob. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Goldfingrian economy, worth a remarkable 4,413 trillion Bonds a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 152,425 Bonds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,327,765 per year while the poor average 2,730, a ratio of 486 to 1.

9 out of 10 consumers think that vitamins can cure cancer, charity workers were first up against the wall when the time came, takeaway food bought on the weekend now comes with fifty percent more sweat and tears, and the government is rumored to hire body doubles whose full-time jobs are to cry at public events. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goldfinger's national animal is the Pussy Galore, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is orthodox Evil.

Goldfinger is ranked 78,172nd in the world and 1st in The League of Aggressive Gentlemen for Most Patriotic, with 23.3 flags saluted per person per day.
