The Federation of Gosswein is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by His Majesty with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.172 billion Gossweinians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leittzien. The average income tax rate is 83.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Gossweinian economy, worth 484 trillion Patrian Marks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,692 Patrian Marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

It's illegal to be caught on tape, companies have begun running campaigns to stop people from remembering their brand name, employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, and it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gosswein's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hellenism.

Gosswein is ranked 10,047^th in the world and 1^st in Patria for Most Corrupt Governments, with 155.11 kickbacks per hour.
