The Dominion of Goldsteinburg is a tiny, efficient nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8 million Goldsteinburg Employers are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.2%.

The very strong Slaves economy, worth 443 billion Stocks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 55,444 Stocks, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

Millions of Goldsteinburg Employers are excellent swimmers, molehills are the only mountains deemed safe enough for the public, corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, and senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goldsteinburg's national animal is the Bull and Bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Goldsteinburg is ranked 101,649^th in the world and 3^rd in The Colonies of Latin America for Most Developed, scoring 61.07 on the Human Development Index.
