The Modern Methodist kingdom of Glorious Royal Gilboa is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King David Shepherd with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 1.311 billion Gilboans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shiloh. The average income tax rate is 78.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Gilboan economy, worth 188 trillion Laurels a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,599 Laurels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, gun ownership is compulsory, surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, and citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glorious Royal Gilboa's national animal is the Monarch butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Methodism.

Glorious Royal Gilboa is ranked 11,084th in the world and 17th in Covenant Shores for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 10,434.97 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
