The Republic of Goltho is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Oberster Führer Sean with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.216 billion Golthoans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Portincia. The average income tax rate is 44.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Golthoan economy, worth 92.6 trillion Marks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,139 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Record numbers of students are leaving school to enter the workforce, hedge fund managers are diversifying into herbaceous borders, it is often said that only Oberster Führer Sean could bring down Dàguó, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goltho's national animal is the Wolverine, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheist.

Goltho is ranked 141,347^th in the world and 545^th in Concord for Safest, scoring 62.71 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
