The State of Good Providence is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 37.454 billion Good Providenceans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 37.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Good Providencean economy, worth a remarkable 1,163 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 31,072 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government is avowedly atheist, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the military frequently holds bake sales to raise funds, and Good Providence has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Good Providence's national animal is the deer.

Good Providence is ranked 184,654^th in the world and 173^rd in Ancient Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
