The Free Socialist Republic of Gothc is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Council of the Republic with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.707 billion Gothcians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Schwarzenburg. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gothc economy, worth 187 trillion Gothcic Kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 110,097 Gothcic Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, the standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods, and the newly revamped army is so eager for action that it has trouble keeping the peace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gothc's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gothc is ranked 39,195^th in the world and 219^th in Europeia for Most Influential, scoring 2,050 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
