The Culture of Gooutofhere is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Empress of Gooutofhere with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 19.455 billion Gooutofhereans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capitol. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Gooutofherean economy, worth an astonishing 14,481 trillion Credits 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. 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 a breathtaking 744,366 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reddish-brown is the new black, a new "thought police" branch is being developed, the canal flows through the land like a twisty turny thing, and revolutionaries only deal in CyanCatCoin. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gooutofhere's national animal is the Eagle Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Prythia.

Gooutofhere is ranked 50^th in the world and 1^st in Astoria for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,857.98 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
