The Oppressed Peoples of Central Goontopia is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 123 million Central Goontopians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.3%.

The sizeable but inefficient Central Goontopian economy, worth 5.63 trillion M-16s 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. 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 45,750 M-16s, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

NationStates is now a popular brand of laxatives despite Max Barry's protests, the military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams, juries are mostly made up of wealthy busybodies and ex-convicts, and feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Central Goontopia's national animal is the War Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Central Goontopia is ranked 131,768^th in the world and 5^th in UCAZ The CCCCCCCCCCC Autonomous Zone for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,462.41 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
