The Leaping Billies of Mountain Goat is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Alpinus Horn with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.395 billion Mountain Goats 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 large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dusky Crag. The average income tax rate is 89.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mountain Goat economy, worth a remarkable 1,834 trillion kroner a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 161,031 kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Romantic sunsets are no longer interrupted by explosions and monstrous roars, tough diplomacy is often best handled with a nutcracker, a shocking number of estate planners are beneficiaries of their clients' wills, and a milk bath costs more than bathing in money. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mountain Goat's national animal is the Rocky Mountain Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Perching atop Bluffs.

Mountain Goat is ranked 290,036^th in the world and 16^th in Fjord for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.32 kickbacks per hour.
