the schools will be near cemetaries

Everything would be near a cemetary. In fact, a goth country would be a headstone carver's dream because people would put them on their lawns instead of those plastic flamingos and garden gnomes.

Unless of course the graves are for the plastic flamingos and garden gnomes...

daladus

Nah, we burn those.

The army would be highly adept at night fighting. Or we wouldn't have an army, just lots of weapons of mass destruction. Then we find oil sources(black gold) and give the middle finger to the US as we have oil, and we ACTUALLY have WMD, unlike Iraq, so we can keep our oil

the large number of bats that will fly around will dessimate flying biting bug populations

Hmm as punishment to all the little kiddies they will be forced to sit in the Yellow room. Instead of water, the taps would have absinthe/cheap red wine (how gaouwffthhh) running through them.

The head of state would be Peter Murphy, with Siouxsie Sue as Deputy, and Eldritch as the head of parlement. The parlement would take regular clove breaks, and spend most of their time arguing wether to subsidise darkwave...or wether to only allow government rebates on "goth".

When you went to a roler skating rink, there would be much playing of dead or alive's "you spin me right round" and an entire club that did performances of the rocky horror show every night.

There would be different superstitions, instead of seeing a black cat meaning bad luck...seeing something flurescent yellow would mean bad luck. Where in other countries there are "alcohol free zones" in this country there would be "smiling free zones"

If you got arrested, you could plead "elitism" (as opposed to insanity) and have a chance of being free from the prison.

I don't even want to go into the sort of stuff that would happen for the reality TV shows, but the TVs them selves (and infact all other electrical devices) would be steam powered with lots of cogs and gears (real pre-industrial revolution style) infact to change channels will involve using your rivethead (instead of slave/servant) to pull many different leavers that made all sorts of mechanical noises as they moved (admit it what rivet head wouldn't love those leavers)

Black cats only mean bad luck in America and maybe some other countries (does it mean bad luck in Australia?), in England black cats mean good luck while white cats mean bad luck, it seems to vary from country to country. I think other superstitions do too. :p But anyway I'm pointlessly rambling, nice ideas vialick.

The country would be near one of the poles, the flag would be purple and black striped, the president would be marylin manson, there would be laws, but not as many, and we would have public executions for murderers, theives, and rapists. And our first public hanging would be that of a large group of people: N'sync, Britney Spears, and Martha Stewart!

LOL! That's just my imagionation. (:

Marilyn Manson is NOT goth

So . . . I think it's a good idea,
no-one ever likes the head of state,
so why not give em someone they already hate

That way no one is upset when an assassination attempt is made, good thinking

What IS marylin manson? An alien?? LOL! *) But anyways, whoever our leader is, if he pisses us off, we'd vote to have a public execution! I wanna see some bodies droppin'! OH! and we need to bring back the geutine! (However ya spell it). =:)

You mean the guillotine Acidic Angel? And Marilyn Manson isn't a goth band, they're a rock band and are in no way related to the goth subculture in any shape or form. Though it would be interesting to see what he'd do as the Prime Minsiter/President/whatever because he doesn't seem as 'spooky' or as 'weird' as the media, townies and spookykids think he is.

I thought MM was surprisingly eloquent and lucid in his cameo in "Bowling for Columbine"...
