The Kingdom of Gabilthrum is a large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 91 million Gabilthrumians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 32.0%.

The strong Gabilthrumian economy, worth 4.94 trillion florins a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 54,255 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

In coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho), one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them, and politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gabilthrum's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gabilthrum is ranked 274,302^nd in the world and 829^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -8.37 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
