The Armed Republic of Gon Fishin is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.452 billion warriors are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Gon Fishinian economy, worth 115 trillion bullatias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 25,960 bullatias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is known to care more about its buildings than its people, government statistics suggest 115% of the population love Leader, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gon Fishin's national animal is the cougar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gon Fishin is ranked 50,601^st in the world and 354^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,438.84 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
