The Social State of Gogosia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Arisu Kojima with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical population of 6.218 billion Gogosians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chushin. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gogosian economy, worth 896 trillion Goas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 144,193 Goas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A signed affidavit from a prominent anti-corruption advocate declares that he is in fact a crook after all, contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and Arisu Kojima reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gogosia's national animal is the Tucan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is palcism.

Gogosia is ranked 18,636th in the world and 175th in The Leftist Assembly for Safest, scoring 114.65 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
