The Kingdom of Gibsoniana is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by King Nico I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.002 billion Gibsons hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Villa Domus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Gibsonianan economy, worth 467 trillion Collars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 155,742 Collars, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government runs a surplus by selling its citizens, corporate executives continue to enjoy generous tax benefits while the public is taxed to the hilt, government leaders testify at international tribunals on why the sun went out, and the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gibsoniana's national animal is the Airedale, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Anvivian.

Gibsoniana is ranked 241,253^rd in the world and 931^st in Talonia for Fattest Citizens, with 7.8 Obesity Rate.
