The Dominion of Gottamba is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, state-planned economy, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 673 million Gottambans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 46.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Gottamban economy, worth 32.0 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 47,529 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ritual mummification is making a comeback, giving up when the going gets tough is all the rage, prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up, and a rogue brutalist can cement their town in the past. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gottamba's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gottamba is ranked 75,113^th in the world and 7^th in New Karnaria for Highest Poor Incomes, with 40,229.02 Standard Monetary Units.
