The Dominion of Ghroth is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ghroth with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.674 billion Gugs are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ghroth. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong local economy, worth 140 trillion maccas a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,420 maccas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, Ghroth has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished, pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, and foragers descend on national cemeteries for 'all-you-can-dig-up' extravaganzas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ghroth's national animal is the Zoog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Spiritualism.

Ghroth is ranked 258,170^th in the world and 106^th in Eientei Gensokyo for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -7.63 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
