The Fiefdom of Gotling is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The devout population of 1.582 billion Gotlingians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 44.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Gotlingian economy, worth 53.7 trillion Marks a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,934 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gotling's national animal is the Unicorn.

Gotling is ranked 245,721st in the world and 3,859th in Artificial Solar System for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -22.36 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
