The Democratic Republic of Goomble is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jimbo with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.761 billion Goombleans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nouveau Chambéry. The average income tax rate is 84.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Goomblean economy, worth 528 trillion Bumblebucks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,034 Bumblebucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Goomblean politicians, citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, and sometimes a single pallbearer is all you need. Crime is totally unknown. Goomble's national animal is the Majestic Sea Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Goomble is ranked 148,709th in the world and 2,974th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 167.45946227032 days.
