OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Empire of Hill Gootheny is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The One True Goothenian with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.047 billion Goothenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great Goothenia. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hill Goothenyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,164 trillion Goothens a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,855 Goothens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sex-ed is child's play, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, and a surprising number of police officers have been arrested for unicorn sacrifices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hill Gootheny's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Goothenism.

Hill Gootheny is ranked 55,058th in the world and 555th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 798.5219195012 days.
