The Confederacy of Gabyl is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Kin Ji Li with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.131 billion Gabylians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Derfurg. The average income tax rate is 47.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Gabylian economy, worth 272 trillion Gabylfrancs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 127,809 Gabylfrancs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Defense lawyers often argue there's no proof murder victims weren't vampires, rare steaks seem even bluer now, the opposition leader's credibility has been undermined by constant attention drawn to a dodgy toupee, and NPCs in MMORPGs regularly interrupt cutscenes with OOC reminders that they aren't real people. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gabyl's national animal is the Turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Moneyism.

Gabyl is ranked 25,796^th in the world and 40^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Corrupt Governments, with 82.45 kickbacks per hour.
