The Democratic Republic of Gobunga is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.743 billion Gobungans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flailinginflatabletubeman Town. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Gobungan economy, worth 701 trillion Scrims a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,857 Scrims, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense, the government is seen as openly hostile to all religion, and politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gobunga's national animal is the Little Black Shag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pastafarianism.

Gobunga is ranked 306,464^th in the world and 5^th in Alliance of Pkardia for Most Primitive, scoring -390.86 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
