The Free Land of Pax Gothica is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Castellan Edalynn Burnham with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 11.046 billion Goths are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pax Gothica. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pax Gothican economy, worth a remarkable 1,307 trillion Gothic Coins a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,400 Gothic Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, and tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pax Gothica's national animal is the Cobra, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pax Gothica is ranked 21,420th in the world and 9th in Gholgoth for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,888.72 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
