The Iron Fist Consumerist state of Golgorna is a huge, safe nation, ruled by -data expunged- with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 926 million Golgornans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unlondon. The average income tax rate is 52.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Golgornan economy, worth 132 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 142,790 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Golgornan Space Agency, and military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Golgorna's national animal is the 20 mm autocannon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Golgorna is ranked 85,858^th in the world and 2,366^th in The North Pacific for Highest Economic Output, with 132 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
