The Queer Insurrectionary Army of Gothikka is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Black Army Collective with a fair hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, daily referendums, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 12.873 billion Gothikkans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moknishva. The average income tax rate is 87.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Gothikkan economy, worth a remarkable 1,558 trillion Ammunitions 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 Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. 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 an impressive 121,057 Ammunitions, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens hear a diversity of opinions from a range of billionaire-owned corporations, every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Gothikkan, the nation's "surprisingly chill" military is renowned for its horrendous war crimes, and cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gothikka's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Gothikka is ranked 253,245th in the world and 9,811th in Lazarus for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 15,495.4 Standard Monetary Units.
