The US states that border us are Oregon, California, and Washington. We are also about half of the size of the United States in square miles.

Government
There are restrictions on who can vote in this country. One restriction is, you must be at least the age of 20, but there are no gender restrictions. You also have to have been a citizen of Gogh for at least two years.
We have 3 branches very much so like the United States, but with a slight twist. There is the judicial, legislative, and executive branches. The legislative branch is not broken up, into parties because here, neither of those parties exist, we are one unit. We do however have a selected person that runs each branch. These leaders are selected by the people, and the executive branch also has a say in the matter. And, since we are an indirect democracy, the people do not get to directly vote on every issue that is at hand, but it is important to be able to care for each region's needs, so we are also a federal government. We believe that this method allows things to run more smoothly.
Relations Within and Abroad
You always do have those people that don't agree with every decision ever made, but we handle these problems very civilly. We like to brag about the fact that our crime rate is the lowest crime rate in the whole world.

Economy and Employment
Gogh is a wealthy country where the unemployment rate is extremely low. Many people in this country are manufacturers, designers, and artists. We also have many farmers, fishermen, and lumbermen. We believe in quality over quantity, and because we have such creative and inventive minds in this great country, we think things are a lot more inventive and interesting here.
