I knew it was Spain as at one point the models count to 5 in what I recognised as Spanish & it was mentioned as being 'Gowdee'an' but it wasn't until I sat there sounding the word out that it reminded me of Gaudi.

She mentions doing a lot of research for this book in libraries & namechecks some pretty prestigious ones, so I guess she picked the name up somewhere.
Of course that's just my theory & it could be entirely wrong, but it's the only thing I can come up with.
ignore my above comment i just made to hisietari. your theory does make sense!
still, all that energy "researching" and she couldn't come up with more creative names for countries than those? i could do it in ten minutes using a couple name generators, FFS.
