“Tempus numquam obliviscemur”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Golshingo is a huge, safe nation, notable for its strictly enforced bedtime and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 493 million Golshingoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 25.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Golshingoan economy, worth 25.3 trillion Frowacs a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,265 Frowacs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People's charity begins and ends at home, Golshingo has designated Golshingo City as its capital city, parking's carefree without parking car fees, and factories grind to a halt every time there is an election. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Golshingo's national animal is the falcon.

Golshingo is ranked 67,558^th in the world and 2,346^th in The North Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 38.18 quips per hour.
