The Kingdom of Godwinnia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Harold III and the Witan with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 38.072 billion Godwinnians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business, outspoken individuals prioritizes Education, with Defense, Spirituality, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lunden. Income tax is unheard of.

The powerhouse Godwinnian economy, worth a remarkable 5,526 trillion marks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 145,165 marks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 894,250 per year while the poor average 10,255, a ratio of 87.2 to 1.

Days begin with afternoon tea, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, and politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"). Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Godwinnia's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Godwinnian Catholicism.

Godwinnia is ranked 43,743rd in the world and 2nd in Conservative Paradise for Most Stationary, with 1,015.4853223112 days.
