The Confederacy of The Islands of Gilbrina is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Lord - General Papito Yolkstrini with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 8.583 billion Gilbrinan Islanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Gilbri. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Gilbrinan economy, worth a remarkable 1,085 trillion Gilbrs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 126,418 Gilbrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The news is showing footage of Lord - General Papito Yolkstrini bullying an old man to the point of tears, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, and the The Islands of Gilbrina Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Islands of Gilbrina's national animal is the Two - Headed Peacock, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Islands of Gilbrina is ranked 8,953^rd in the world and 390^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 126 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
