The Federation of Gilmic is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The devout population of 309 million Gilmicians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Panthalassa. The average income tax rate is 64.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Gilmician economy, worth 26.9 trillion Kurums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 87,190 Kurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Panthalassa to enjoy their national art, soldiers must key in their passwords every time they want to reload their weapons, political detractors refer to Leader as 'that Bigtopian puppet', and party affiliation is just as irrelevant as campaign promises. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gilmic's national animal is the Rabid Tapir, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Gilmic is ranked 43,414th in the world and 150th in Concord for Safest, scoring 104.6 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
