The Grand Duchy of Gothlandia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ender Willkinson I with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, cheerful population of 24.001 billion Gothlandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gothenhagen. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Gothlandian economy, worth a remarkable 5,787 trillion Goth Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 241,134 Goth Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, and one can wake up in Gothlandia and have breakfast in Bigtopia. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gothlandia's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Naturism.

Gothlandia is ranked 291,669^th in the world and 308^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Primitive, scoring -898.31 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
