The Revolutionary Council of Golgotho is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, avowedly heterosexual populace, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 743 million Golgothans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bromjunaar. The average income tax rate is 47.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Golgothan economy, worth 92.2 trillion Scrips a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,026 Scrips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Being able to unblock a u-bend pipe is considered a universally essential skill, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, the nation has nearly as many history museums as Golgothans, and the once prosperous capital is in utter decline. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Golgotho's national animal is the Altai, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Golgotho is ranked 178,328th in the world and 69th in Greater Dienstad for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 48.55 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
