The Squinted Eyes of Goblin Man is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Goblin Man with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 16.351 billion Half-Orcs 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 minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bree. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.
The all-consuming Half-Orcian economy, worth a remarkable 1,248 trillion Korrupps a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 76,346 Korrupps, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 435,058 per year while the poor average 6,507, a ratio of 66.9 to 1.
Exports of chewing gum are inexplicably falling, citizens who leave the country are officially classed as traitors, closed universities are currently being converted into McRonald's restaurants, and there's more vermin than ever on the metro. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Goblin Man's national animal is the Shark-Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Sauron's Call.
Goblin Man is ranked 333,299th in the world and 33rd in Germany for Smartest Citizens, with 1.34 quips per hour.
