The Technocracy of Golgorna is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by -data expunged- with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.007 billion Golgornans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unlondon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Golgornan economy, worth a remarkable 1,601 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 228,586 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,094,921 per year while the poor average 27,925, a ratio of 39.2 to 1.

Angry men scowl at each other across chess boards, parents plead with their children to consider prostitution instead of philosophy, creative compliance measures ensure that high-ranking officials live in luxury while the country's coffers collect cobwebs, and vast amounts of energy are expended moving water to hilltop lakes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Golgorna's national animal is the 20 mm autocannon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kibology.

Golgorna is ranked 16,197th in the world and 88th in 10000 Islands for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 73,376.11 Standard Monetary Units.
