I see 3 big yellow blobs on the first SOV map from Google. Yellow is Goon..so...did Goon inherit TEST space?

(I am behind on other null alliances and corporations, so I'm merely curious)

Well we didn't want sov anyway so booda metagamed The Mittani right where he wanted him and forced CFC to take all the sov, thus freeing us from the shackles of sov warfare.

We didn't inherit it. We exterminated the pests who were living there and are in the process of moving in some friends and family.

EVE is a game about spaceships and there's an enormous amount of work to do on the in-space gameplay before players (or developers) are ready to sacrifice it for a totally new type of gameplay - CCP Rise

You missed a war (or three).

very short version: TEST couldn't defend their space vs. CFC once their allies lost interest in the war (PL due to the Alliance Tournament - which was very good, I suggest you watch it on youtube - and N3 coalition due to being sidetracked to hold on to their own sov), after an initially quite interesting and closely fought campaign (with PIZZA bombing whoever provided the best target).

If you want to know the story on how it came to blows between CFC and TEST... very complicated, with months of confusing leadership changes within TEST and many other shenanigans closely followed but not understood by the wider public (incl. me)... I refuse to tell this tale (that I couldn't give justice to).

If you want details, you might start here: http://news.enl-i.com/tag/test/, then click Older Posts a few times and start reading a few months back. Or just read the disaster unfold backwards in time from the end.

they forgot to pay the sov costs because they needed money for their SRF.

Actually TEST paid the sov bills well after they had left just so we would have to grind it.

Some kids who took candy from a strange man and then were lost and confused then the man did mean things to them and took the candy away again.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

If by inherit you mean they put us in their will and then we killed them... yes.

You must have been a way a while, the Fountain campaign was one of the biggest fights in EVE history, and the Delve campaign was one of the fastest.

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.
