The Confederacy of The Goggles is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Wonko the Sane with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.153 billion Gogglesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lamuella. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Gogglesian economy, worth an astonishing 19,866 trillion Triganic Pus a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 705,660 Triganic Pus, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,175,514 per year while the poor average 176,707, a ratio of 12.3 to 1.
Scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished, it is common to still see adults with training wheels on their bikes, rare steaks seem even bluer now, and illegal immigration remains a hot topic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. The Goggles's national animal is the Bugblatter Beast, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Saneism.
The Goggles is ranked 290,784th in the world and 2nd in The New Old South for Highest Food Quality, scoring 0.94 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
