The Republic of Golshingo is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Mike Delakus with an even hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, avowedly heterosexual populace, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-working, devout population of 3.059 billion Golshingoans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Lexingham. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.8%.

The all-consuming Golshingoan economy, worth 200 trillion Decarnas a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,391 Decarnas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 246,693 per year while the poor average 12,073, a ratio of 20.4 to 1.

The government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Mike Delakus, annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt, and agricultural employees work for peanuts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Golshingo's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Golshingo is ranked 259,886^th in the world and 1,202^nd in Europe for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 816.33 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
