The Great Goutian Empire (Götaish: Goutian Heimsveldi; Mealláign: Impireacht Gaibhtean), was an expansive realm consisting of dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates, and various other territories under the rule of the Kingdom of Gotneska and its antecedent entities. Its existence spanned over 250 years, from 1722 until 1979. The official flag of the Goutian Empire, adopted in 1820, symbolised its widespread dominion until the Empire's dissolution in 1979.

Established from overseas possessions and trading posts created by Gotneska during the late 16th and early 18th centuries, the Great Goutian Empire marked its initiation when Queen Elisabeth I was proclaimed Empress on 29 October 1722. The empire's capital was first located in Rauðnunger from 1722 until 1762, then moved to Læniguëuíl.

The Empire was multilingual, with the common languages reflecting its historical progression. These included Middle Meallángan from the 16th to 17th centuries, Early Modern Götaish from the 16th to 19th centuries, and Götaish and Meallángan from the 19th century until the Empire's dissolution in 1979.

The Goutian Empire was characterised by its diverse religious landscape, which included Old Vjoldinism and Christianity. Citizens of the Empire were referred to as Goutians. The governmental system was a unitary hereditary absolute monarchy from 1722 until 1844, with key monarchs such as Elisabeth I (1722-1772), Sarah I (1810-1840), Christian IV (1890-1916), and the last monarch, Patrick XIII (1953-1979).

The Empire's history spanned the Early Modern Age and the Goutian Colonial Period, ending in turmoil with the outbreak of the Gotneskan Civil War on 23 May 1979. The Provisional Government of the Gotneskan People took control on 12 November 1979.

The Goutian Empire succeeded the Gotneska-Mealláig and was preceded by the Kingdom of Éirú and the Kingdom of Erilasden. Upon its dissolution, its territories were divided among the Provisional Government of the Gotneskan People, the tribal nations of Nanuvat, and Ómaksa. Today, the former territories of the Great Goutian Empire form part of multiple nations, including Aurivizh, Gotneska, Kitikmeot, Ulfheimr, Vorey Isles, and Ómaksa.
