The Colony of Goth World II is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 11.111 billion Goth World IIians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gotham. The average income tax rate is 78.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Goth World IIian economy, worth a remarkable 2,142 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 192,868 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
There is no rest for the widowed, metal detectors at school gates make sure that teenagers are carrying at least one sidearm, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", and there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goth World II's national animal is the snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Goth World II is ranked 6,104th in the world and 1st in New Bilderberg Group for Lowest Crime Rates, with 111.75 law-abiding acts per hour.
