The Grand Duchy of Gothlandia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ender Willkinson I with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cheerful population of 24.008 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 5,784 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 240,956 Goth Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One can wake up in Gothlandia and have breakfast in Bigtopia, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, the wealthiest parts of the country receive the most government spending, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. 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 5,338th in the world and 9th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 18,256.55 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
