The Republic of Godsonia is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, cynical population of 5 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Social Welfare, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 35%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Woodchip Exports.

Elections have been outlawed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low. Godsonia's national animal is the Gor Gor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Gil.
