The Southern Republic of Goanya is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by God with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, digital currency, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.047 billion Goanyans 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 tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Healthcare, with Welfare, Defense, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gonan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The strong Goanyan economy, worth 258 trillion Goanyan pound sterlings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Average income is 51,290 Goanyan pound sterlings, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 303,655 per year while the poor average 3,997, a ratio of 76.0 to 1.

Administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, health inspectors are seen eating black truffle fondue with their bottled water, the law is more interested in punishing crime than preventing it, and people forget to eat because they are too busy singing God's praises. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Goanya's national animal is the jaguar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Godism.

Goanya is ranked 241,310^th in the world and 25^th in Sandshrew for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -6.32 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
