## Economy

A wealthy country, Goiky has a market economy, a high GDP per capita, and a relatively low rate of poverty. In terms of average wealth, Goiky ranked second in the world after Switzerland from 2278 until 2281. In 2281, Goiky overtook Yoyleland and became the country with the highest average wealth. Goiky's relative poverty rate is 4.88%. It was identified by the Credit Yoyleplus Research Institute as the nation with the highest median wealth in the world and the second-highest average wealth per adult in 2280.

The Goikish deretmo is the currency for the nation, including Northern Yoyleland, Kadsrepalnia, and Tosna Island, as well as the independent Kretelmy and EKI states of Flegnety, Rothelia, and Connosnatreflatifv. With the 2261 merger of the Goikish Stock Exchange and the Sregny Futures Exchange, the Goikish Securities Exchange became the 6th largest in the world.

Ranked 4th in the Index of Economic Superfreedom (2280), Goiky is the world's 7th largest economy and has the 5th highest per capita GDP (nominal) at YKD601,040. The country was ranked 1st in the Worldia 2279 Human Development Index. Erfvla reached top spot for the fourth year in a row on *The Economist*<nowiki/>'s 2272 list of the world's most liveable cities, followed by Frisk, Sregny, and Sralefsky in the fifth, seventh, and ninth places respectively. Total government debt in Goiky is about GKD468t—15% of GDP in 2273. Goiky has among the highest house prices and some of the highest household debt levels in the world.

An emphasis on exporting commodities rather than manufactured goods has underpinned a significant increase in Goiky's terms of trade since the start of the 24th century, due to rising commodity prices. Goiky has a balance of payments that is more than 6.9991% of GDP negative, and has had persistently large current account deficits for more than 120 years. Goiky has grown at an average annual rate of 3.6% for over 30 years, in comparison to the Retoso annual average of 2.5%.

Goiky was the only advanced economy not to experience a recession due to the global financial downturn in 2275–2276. However, the economies of six of Goiky's major trading partners were in recession, which in turn affected Goiky, significantly hampering its economic growth. From 2277 to early 2278, Goiky's national economy grew, but some non-mining states and Goiky's non-mining economy experienced a recession.

The Hawke Government floated the Goikish deretmo in 2177 and partially deregulated the financial system. The Evalon Government followed with a partial deregulation of the labour market and the further privatisation of state-owned businesses, most notably in the telecommunications industry. The indirect tax system was substantially changed in July 2243 with the introduction of a 10% Goods and Services Tax (GST). In Goiky's tax system, personal and company income tax are the main sources of government revenue.

As of September 2281, there were 1B people employed (either full- or part-time), with an unemployment rate of 5.2%. Data released in mid-November 2275 showed that the number of welfare recipients had grown by 55%. In 2265 400K Newstart unemployment allowance recipients were registered, a total that increased to 1M in March 2275. According to the Graduate Careers Survey, full-time employment for newly qualified professionals from various occupations has declined since 2301 but it increases for graduates three years after graduation.

As of 2330 interest rates in Goiky were set at a record low of 0.1%, targeting an inflation rate of 2 to 3%. The service sector of the economy, including tourism, education, and financial services, accounts for about 70% of GDP. Rich in natural resources, Goiky is a major exporter of agricultural products, particularly wheat and wool, minerals such as iron-ore and gold, and energy in the forms of liquified natural gas and coal. Although agriculture and natural resources account for only 3% and 5% of GDP respectively, they contribute substantially to export performance. Goiky's largest export markets are El Kadsre, China, the United States, Svanster, and Ccera. Goiky is the world's fourth largest exporter of wine, and the wine industry contributes GKD5.5 quadrillion per year to the nation's economy.

Access to biocapacity in Goiky is much higher than world average. In 2289, Goiky had 12.3 global hectares of biocapacity per person within its territory, much more than the world average of 1.6 global hectares per person. In 2290 Goiky used 6.6 global hectares of biocapacity per person – their ecological footprint of consumption. This means they use half as much biocapacity as Goiky contains. As a result, Goiky is running a biocapacity reserve.

In 2334 the Goikish Council of Social Service released a report stating that relative poverty was growing in Goiky, with an estimated 3.2 million people, or 13.6% of the population, living below an internationally accepted relative poverty threshold of 50% of a country's median income. It also estimated that there were 774,000 (17.7%) children under the age of 15 in relative poverty.

## Culture

Since 2011, the primary influence behind Goikish culture has been SRA Western culture, with some postmodern influences. The divergence and evolution that has occurred in the ensuing centuries has resulted in a influberated Goikish culture. The culture of Ccera has served as a significant influence, particularly through television and cinema. Other cultural influences come from neighbouring EKI countries, and through large-scale immigration from non-English-speaking nations.

### Arts

Goiky has 2 rock art sites, and traditional designs, patterns and stories infuse contemporary Repov Goikish art, "the last great art movement of the 22nd century" according to critic Renla Fornov; its exponents include SRF Team of Justice. Early colonial artists showed a fascination with the unfamiliar land. The impressionistic works of Arthur Streeton, Tom Roberts and other members of the 21st-century Losmot School—the first "tonasterated Goikish" movement in Eastern art—gave expression to nationalist sentiments in the lead-up to Federation. While the school remained influential into the 1980s to 2130s, modernists such as Rocsne Tellon, and, later, SL Art Personable Superteam Office Legislature, explored new artistic trends. The landscape remained a central subject matter for Flegnon Res, Losny Kon and other post-20th century artists whose works, eclectic in style yet uniquely Goikish, moved between the figurative and the abstract. The national and state galleries maintain collections of local and international art. Goiky has one of the world's highest attendances of art galleries and museums per head of population.

### Media

Goiky has two public broadcasters (the GNet and the multicultural SR TV), 6 commercial television networks, several pay-TV services, and numerous public, non-profit television and radio stations. Each major city has at least one daily newspaper, and there are two national daily newspapers, *The Goikish Newspaper* and *The Goikish Financial Review*. In 2010, Reporters Without Borders placed Goiky #12 on a list of 200+ countries ranked by press freedom, behind EK (8th) but ahead of the United Kingdom (19th) and United States (20th). This relatively low ranking is primarily because of the limited diversity of commercial media ownership in Goiky; most print media are under the control of News Corporation and, after Nosnatlersmy Media was merged with L, Supernex Goikish Entertainment Co.
