Gobbotopia is the city built on the remains of the battle scarred Azure City. It was founded by the high priest of the Dark One in 1184 [2] six weeks short of one year after the goblins conquered Azure City) to become a capital city for goblinoids of all colors, and a stepping stone for improving the lives of all goblins and other creatures typically scorned by other civilizations.
Gobbotopia's national flag is a red banner with four stars on it, one raised above the other three. It can be assumed three lower stars represent the colors of all goblinoids (orange, green, and brown) while the violet star represents the Dark One.[2]
Its population is mainly goblinoids (Goblins, Bugbears and Hobgoblins - Hobgoblins make up 93% of its permanent population), but Gobbotopia also welcomes "all disenfranchised humanoids".

The blood splattered banner starts like this:
"O, say can you see
- in the darkness of night
Who so proudly we killed
- at the twilights last gleaming?
Whose blue shirts and bright swords
- thru the perilous fight
O'er the parapets we saw
- And to whom we gave a reaming..."
