The Protectorate of The Global Bank is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Lucy with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.099 billion Global Bankians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, with Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Global Bank City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.0%.

The powerhouse Global Bankian economy, worth 108 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 98,546 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Tuba players are paid to quietly whisper into their instruments, wandering Global Bankians are known for their one-track minds, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, and factories are regularly demolished to make way for low-cost housing areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Global Bank's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The Global Bank is ranked 230,299^th in the world and 179^th in 10000 Islands for Fattest Citizens, with 8.35 Obesity Rate.
