The United Federation of New Goldman is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Charles Norton with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.152 billion Goldmanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capitol Hill. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Goldmanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,212 trillion Goldmanian Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,705 Goldmanian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens, and Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Capitol Hill to enjoy their national art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Goldman's national animal is the Goldmanian Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

New Goldman is ranked 203,815th in the world and 4,298th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 38.64 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
