The Free Land of Gabrielium is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, strictly enforced bedtime, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 184 million Gabrieliumians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 6.9%.

The powerhouse Gabrieliumian economy, worth 16.6 trillion satoshi a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 90,440 satoshi, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, songs of praise to Leader are filled with coded messages from the resistance, there's a hole in the heart of every Gabrieliumian city, and the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Gabrieliumians any less frightened. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Gabrielium's national animal is the onça, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gabrielium is ranked 65,143rd in the world and 18th in Free Market Federation for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 116.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
