The Confederacy of The Islands of Gilbrina is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Lord - General Papito Yolkstrini with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, otherworldly petting zoo, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 8.689 billion Gilbrinan Islanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Gilbri. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Gilbrinan economy, worth a remarkable 1,096 trillion Gilbrs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 126,171 Gilbrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, left-wing militias train children how to properly burn down banks, the election for Lord - General Papito Yolkstrini's office's janitor is heating up, and fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Islands of Gilbrina's national animal is the Two - Headed Peacock, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Islands of Gilbrina is ranked 23,282^nd in the world and 919^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.91 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
