The premier Wolgos nation in Gotha, known as Hergom ep Swerkorwos, is situated in the deep south of the planet. It encompasses the entire region of Kupeya (called Khrupeva by the Wolgos), which includes the South pole, as well as the southernmost part of Tzeraka (called Therakha by the Wolgos). The nation recently celebrated its centenary anniversary, marking the foundation of the state after the dissolution of the Bind and Dhownolgos. Its establishment followed the conclusion of the Pan Oceanic War and the subsequent Second Great Wolgos Trek.

Despite its extensive land area, Hergom ep Swerkorwos primarily experiences challenging climates. Only around fifteen percent of its territory enjoys a temperate climate, while the remaining land is divided into alpine, taiga, tundra, and varying degrees of harsh arctic climates.

The governance of Hergom ep Swerkorwos departs from the monastic and theocratic systems of its predecessors. Instead, the nation is administered by a federated cabal of Wolgos tribes. While tribes often dominate significant stretches of territory, no Weikosa (region) is monopolized by any particular tribe. Tribes are recognized as legal entities with extraterritorial authority, representing the Wolgos and their human subjects. They encompass numerous clans and families, providing economic, legal, and welfare support.

The state does not provide comprehensive welfare services. Instead, the responsibility for healthcare, education, legal aid, security, and economic assistance lies with the tribes. The level of services varies among tribes and is often tied to their economic influence. Wolgos tribe members frequently work in their respective tribes' expansive enterprises or establish businesses associated with their tribe. However, it is not uncommon to find Wolgos working for tribes other than their own, effectively becoming adoptive members of the tribe they collaborate with.

Cities in Hergom ep Swerkorwos are vibrant hubs where diverse tribes cooperate to conduct efficient business. However, conflicts and hostile competition can arise. The government serves as a pseudo tribe composed of representatives from all tribes, working to harmonize relations and maintain a regulatory and legal framework that supports efficient industry and business operations throughout the nation.

While tribes handle most internal affairs, the government retains control over defense, monetary policy, currency minting, the legal system, relief efforts, intelligence operations, and foreign policy. Defense, infrastructure investments, and intelligence comprise the largest government expenditures. To fund its operations, the government imposes a percentage of revenue and various taxes and fees on the tribes for the services it provides.

As part of its foreign policy, the government exercises control over a number of sorikwentom (corporations and associations). Some of these entities are known to oversee twenty-seven major criminal networks across Gotha. These corporations engage in illicit activities such as distributing drugs, arms manufactured in Hergom, and a range of other illegal operations. The significant profits generated from these activities contribute to Hergom's foreign currency reserves.

Etymology

"Hergom ep Swekorwos" can be interpreted as "Enduring Strength at the World's End" or "Resilient Power at the Edge of the World." It conveys the idea of a powerful and enduring Wolgos nation located in a remote and distant region.
