The Compliments of Good is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 14.574 billion Goodians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Goodian economy, worth a remarkable 2,209 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 151,635 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
Wanting a better life for your child is prohibited by a clause in the criminal code, a good deed is rewarded with a thank you note attached to a deportation order, a referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, and CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Good's national animal is the Elephant.
Good is ranked 234,936th in the world and 7,279th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 23.0436658076 days.
