The Royal Kingdom of New Gilboa is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Silas Benjamin with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 34.04 billion New Gilboans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shiloh. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.

The frighteningly efficient New Gilboan economy, worth an astonishing 12,764 trillion laurels a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 374,985 laurels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government's giant servers are often used as a tourist trap, King Silas Benjamin can often be found attempting to coax random citizens' cats down from trees, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, and APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps. Crime is totally unknown. New Gilboa's national animal is the butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

New Gilboa is ranked 65,539^th in the world and 202^nd in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 4,077.37 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
