The Rice Farming District of Gilbertion is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, strictly enforced bedtime, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 559 million Gilbertionians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Giltopia. The average income tax rate is 49.2%.

The very strong Gilbertionian economy, worth 37.4 trillion Geros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,994 Geros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Children seem to be getting better at lying these days, garbage bags floating down the river are churned up by man-made rapids, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, and nine-year-olds' chat logs are scoured for evidence of radicalization. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gilbertion's national animal is the Mudskipper in a M2a2 Bradley, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gilbertion is ranked 295,654th in the world and 40th in Terra Pacis for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -5.48 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
