The Catfish's Republic of Goshnia and Goshnigovina is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Stepan Somov with an even hand, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 4.535 billion Goshnians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moredar. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Goshnia and Goshnigovinan economy, worth 484 trillion Goshniars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 106,869 Goshniars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
It ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Goshnia and Goshnigovina, workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, and the public are free to vote for whomever the government wants in office. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goshnia and Goshnigovina's national animal is the Catfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is ichtheoteism.
Goshnia and Goshnigovina is ranked 7,217th in the world and 3rd in Communist Allied Defense Organization for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,954.85 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
